F
Walking past my lover's house 
                        Dm
Bitter taste still in my mouth 
F
Too much whiskey, too much smoke 
                             Dm
Last night's tears hang on my coat
    Gm
But now the rain has stopped its fall
Am
Streets shine like a mirror ball
Gm
Sun comes on, it's just enough
Am                 Bb    Dm
Watch the flower's waking up

(Chorus)
           Bb
It's washing day
           Gm
It's washing day
F
Colors run and they fade away
           Bb
It's washing day
           Gm
It's washing day
F
Feel the threads like new again

(Verse)
F
Big machines all in a row
                        Dm
Mother with her child in tow
F
Change old paper for silver coins
                       Dm
Lose myself in all this noise
Gm
Wake up from a peaceful rest
Am
Counting down, one minute left
Gm
Cotton stops its jog in place
Am             Bb        Dm
I hold it warm against my face

(Chorus)
           Bb
It's washing day
           Gm
It's washing day
F
Colors run and they fade away
           Bb
It's washing day
           Gm
It's washing day
F
Feel the threads like new again

F
What's this in my dungarees
                             Dm
In my back pocket, curled and creased
F
My old notebook, filled with you
                               Dm
Our secrets now just streaks of blue
Gm
It's all a mess, but beautiful
Am
This emptiness, a gift I hold
Gm
I write a poem with you in mind
Am
And leave the memories behind
Am             Bb        Dm
I leave the memories behind
Oh I leave the memories behind

(Chorus)
           Bb
It's washing day

It's washing day

It's washing day
F
Feel the threads like new again
Feel the threads like new again
Feel the threads like new again
