TUNING: D A D F# A D (capo 2nd fret) or E B E G# B E
[Intro]
[Verses]
Woke up it was a Chelsea morning and the first thing that I heard
Was a song outside my window and the traffic wrote the words
Dsus4addE
It came ringing up like Christmas bells and rapping up like pipes and drums
Dsus4addB
Oh, won t you stay? We ll put on the day
And we ll wear it till the night comes
Dsus4addB
Woke up it was a Chelsea morning and the first thing that I saw
Was the sun through yellow curtains and a rainbow on my wall
Red, green and gold to welcome you, crimson crystal bells to beckon
Oh, won t you stay? We ll put on the day
There s a sun show every second
Dsus4addB Bm7(addAb)/D
Now the curtain opens on a portrait of today
And the streets are paved with passers by
And pigeons fly and papers lie
Waiting to blow away
Woke up it was a Chelsea morning and the first thing that I knew
There was milk and toast and honey and a bowl of oranges too
And the light pured in like butterscotch and stuck to all my senses
Oh, won t you stay? we ll put on the day
And we ll talk in present tenses
Dsus4/BD Bm7(addAb)/D
When the curtain closes and the rainbow runs away
I will bring you incense owls at night
By candle light, by jewel light if only you will stay
Pretty baby won t you
Wake up, it s a Chelsea morning
