I ^Fmeant to ^Cdo my ^Gwork to^Cday ^{F C G C} So ^Fmany ^Cplans ^GI had ^Cmade ^{F C G C} I'd ^Fcheck the ^Cmail, I'd ^Fmake the ^Ccall ^FSave the ^Cworld and ^Fsweep the ^Chall ^FFinally ^Cget my ac^Fcounting ^Cdone ^FSort the ^Cbeans ^Fone by ^Cone But ^FI got ^Cwaylaid ^Gby the ^Cmorning^F sun^{C N.C.}And I got absolutely nothing ^Fdone ^{C G C F C G C}
