             C      F6            C
I feel such sorrow, I feel such shame
G         C       F6      C
I know I won't arrive on time
           G                  G7
Before whatever out there is gone
F6         C    F6          C
What can I do, that day is done

It's just a promise that I made
I said I'd walk in her parade
Hot scalding tears I thought would flow
Still in my heart they'll never show

Chorus:
             Am  Em             F   D# C
That day is done,  that day is done
                     Am
You know where I've gone
            G
I won't be coming back
 E           A#/C F C
That day is done

Well I recall the time and place
When they announced her precious face
I thought at once my heart would burst
Still every time is like the first

There was applause when she stepped up
I wished that I could interrupt
I made no sign, I made no sound
I know I must stay underground

Chorus:
That day is done, that day is done
You know where I've gone
I won't be coming back
 E           A#/C D# A#/D C
That day is done

                F                 F#dim7
That's why she walks, or so they say
            C                C7
She always knew just what I needed
            F                  F#dim7
Now if she would, just look my way
     G                   G+
One time before they proceed

She sprinkles flowers in the dirt
That's when a thrill becomes a hurt
I know I'll never see her face
She walks away from my resting place

That day is done, that day is done
You know where I've gone
I won't be coming back
That day is done
