Sad DayThe Rolling Stones

Released: May 13, 1966

Songwriter: Keith Richards Mick Jagger

Producer: Andrew Loog Oldham

Someone woke me up this mornin'
And I lit a cigarette
Found myself when I stopped yawnin'
Started getting myself dressed

Then I felt I had a dream
I remembered the things I'd seen
I could still hear the things you said
With that bad dream in my head

It was a sad day
Bad day
Sad day
Bad day

So I called you on the phone
And your friend said, "She's not home"
So I told her where I'd be at
And that you should call me back

Then I looked at the morning mail
I was not even expecting a bill
Your letter a-started "Dear"
And it left me with these tears

It was a sad day
Bad day
Sad day
Bad day

Think of the times that we had rows
But we patched them up somehow
Think of the times I tried to go
But you screamed and told me no

There is only one thing in this world
That I can't understand, that's a girl
I keep a-readin' the things you said
Like a bad dream in my head

It was a sad day
Bad day
Sad day
Bad day

Oh, what a sad, sad, old day
A sad, old day
It was a sad, old day
A sad, old day. It was a bad, old day
Sad old day a bad old day

If there is one awful thing in this world
That I can't understand, that's a girl
It was a sad, sad old day, sad old day
It was a sad, old day

The Rolling Stones

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
