It’s just a test, a game for us to play

Resist, resist, it’s from yourself you have to hide Backing (Oooh Ooooh la la la, etc)

WHAT A DAY FOR A DAYDREAM
Intro
G/// E7/// Am/// D7///
G/// E7///
What a day for a daydream
Am/// D7///
What a day for a daydreaming boy
G/// E7///
And I’m lost in a daydream
Am/// D7///
Dreaming ‘bout my bundle of joy
C/ A7/ G/ E7/
And even if time ain’t really on my side
C/ A7/ G/ E7/
It’s one of those days for taking a walk outside
C/ A7/ G/ E7/
I’m blowing the day to take a walk in the sun
A7/// D7///
And fall on my face on somebody’s new mown lawn
G/// E7///
I’ve been having a sweet dream
Am/// D7///
I’ve been dreaming since I woke up today
G/// E7///
It starred me and my sweet thing
Am/// D7///
Cause she’s the one makes me feel this way
C/ A7/ G/ E7/
And even if time is passing me by a lot
C/ A7/ G/ E7/
I couldn’t care less about the dues you say I got
C/ A7/ G/ E7/
Tomorrow I’ll pay the dues for dropping my love
A7/// D7///
A pie in the face for being a sleepin’ bull dog

Or you may be daydreaming for a thousand years

Custom made for a daydreaming boy
