[Am] [Em] [Am] [Em] [Am] [D] [D] [D] [D] [D] [D] [D] [D]
[G] [G] [G] [G] [D] [D] [D] [D] [Em] [Em] [Em] [Em] [D] [D] [D] [D]
[Verse 1]
[Am]Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning, and the [D]first thing that I [Am]heard.
Was a s[G]ong outside my [D]window, and the [Em]traffic wrote the [D]words.
It came [G]ringing up like [D]Christmas bells,
and r[G]apping up like [A]pipes and drums.
Oh, [Am]won't you stay? We'll [D]put on the day.
And we'll [G]wear it 'till the [D]night comes.
[Verse 2]
[Am]Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning, and the [D]first thing that I [Am]saw.
Was the [G]sun through yellow [D]curtains,and a [Em]rainbow on the [D]wall.
Blue, red, [G]green and gold to [D]welcome you,
crimson [G]crystal beads to [A]beckon.
Oh, [Am]won't you stay? We'll [D]put on the day,
There's a [G]sun show every [D]second.
[Verse 3]
[G]Now the curtain [D]opens on a [Em]portrait of to[D]day,
And the [G]streets are paved with [D]passersby
And [G]pigeons fly, and papers lie, waiting to blow a[A]way.
[Instrumental]
[Am] [Em] [Am] [Em] [Am] [D] [D] [D] [D] [D] [D] [D] [D]
[Verse 4]
[Am]Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning, and the [D]first thing that I kn[Am]ew,
There was mi[G]lk and toast and [D]honey, and a [Em]bowl of oranges, [D]too,
And the [G]sun poured in like [D]butterscotch,and [G]stuck to all my [A]senses,
Oh, w[Am]on't you stay? we'll [D]put on the day,
And we'll [G]talk in present [D]tenses.
[Verse 5]
[G]When the curtain [D]closes, and the [Em]rainbow runs a[D]way.
I will [G]bring you incense [D]owls by night,
By [G]candlelight, by jewel-light, If only you will [A]stay, Pretty baby, won't you,
[Am]Wake up, it's a Chelsea morning....[D]
