Dear Diary - The Moody Blues
by Ray Thomas

Dm / F / Bb / A /   x2

Dm     F     Bb             A
Dear diary, what a day its been
Dm     F          Bb                A
Dear diary, it's been just like a dream
Dm          F             E                  A
Woke up to late, wasn't where I should have been
Dm            F            E            A
For goodness sake, what's happening to me
        Dm             F           G
Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary

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

 Bb                            F
They don't know what they're playing
           Bb                          F
No they've no way of knowing what the game is
         Am       Bb              G
So they carry on doing what they can
    Dm             F             G
Outside me, and politely, dear diary

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

Dear diary, it was cold out today, bit of sun came out later.
So I 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, afraid it wasn't anybody I knew.
