Standard (EADGBE)
you've been sleeping in a field but you look real rested
you set out to outrage but you can't get arrested
you say your image is new but it looks well tested
you're lost without a crowd yet you go your own way
you say your summer has gone
now the winter is crawlin' in
they say that even in your day
somehow you never could quite fit in
though it's cold outside
I know the summer's gonna come again
because you know what they say
every dog has his day
you're a misfit, afraid of yourself so you run away and hide
you've been a misfit all your life
why don't you join the crowd and come inside
you wander round this town like you've lost your way
you had your chance in your day
yet you threw it all away
but you know what they say
every dog has his day
look at all the losers and the mad eyed gazers
look at all the loonies and the sad eyed failures
they've given up living 'cos they just don't care
so take a good look around
the misfits are everywhere
(instrumental like verse: G D C, Ray sings "la la la la la")
this is your chance, this is your time
so don't throw it away
you can have your day
'cause it's true what they say
every dog has his day
(repeat first chorus)
you're a misfit, afraid of yourself so you run away and hide
you've been a misfit all your life
but why don't you join the crowd and come inside
you wander round this town like you've lost your way
you had your chance in your day
yet you threw it all away
now you're lost in the crowd
yet, still go your own way
it ends in Em
this works! God save The Kinks!
