Dear Diary

The Moody Blues

Dm Dm/C Dm/Bb A2 (x2)
                   Dm Dm/C Dm/Bb              A2
          Dear diary    -    what a day it's been
                   Dm  Dm/C    Dm/Bb               A2
          Dear diary   -   it's been just like a dream
          Dm                F                  E                               A2
          Woke up too late, wasn't where I should have been
          Dm                F                   E                    A2
          For goodness sake, what's happening to me?
                    Dm                 F                G       (A)(A) (A)(G)(F)
          Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary
                                                                         Dm Dm/C Dm/Bb A2 (x2)

          It was cold outside my door
          So many people by the score
          Rushing around so senselessly
          They don't notice there's people like me
          Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary

                                 Bb                                     F
                        They don't know what they're playing
                                      Bb                                           F
                        They've no way of knowing what the game is
                                        Am        Bb7                     G
                        Still they carry on doing what they can
                              Dm                  F                 G        (A)(A) (A)(G)(F)
                        Outside me, yours truly, dear diary
                                           *Solo*   (verse)

          It's over - will tomorrow be the same?
          I know that they're really not to blame
          If they weren't so blind then surely they'd see
          There's a much better way for them to be
          Inside me, yours truly, dear diary
                                                                     Dm Dm/C Dm/Bb A2 (repeat & fade)
 (spoken)
     Dear Diary,
          It was cold today
     But the sun came out later,
        so I went out and strolled about looking at the shops
     Didn't really see anything I liked, so I didn't buy anything
     On the way home I posted a letter
     Been quite a nice day
     Somebody exploded an H-bomb today, but it wasn't anyone I knew...
