Woke up it was a Chelsea morning and the first thing that I heard

G Dmaj7 G6+9/D D

Was a song outside my window and the traffic wrote the words

G Dmaj7 G6+9/D Dsus4addE

It came ringing up like Christmas bells and rapping up like pipes and drums

D7sus4 Dsus4addB

Oh, won't you stay? We'll put on the day

Dsus4/F Dsus4/E D

And we'll wear it till the night comes

D Dsus4addB D

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

D Dsus4addB D D Bm7(addAb)/D D

G Dmaj7 G6+9/D D

Now the curtain opens on a portrait of today

G Dmaj7

And the streets are paved with passers by

G6+9/D Dmaj7

And pigeons fly and papers lie

G G6+9/D

Waiting to blow away

B7+9 D5(addBb) B7+9 D5(addBb) B7+9 Dm(addC#)

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

D Dsus4/BD D Bm7(addAb)/D D

G Dmaj7 G6+9/D D

When the curtain closes and the rainbow runs away

G Dmaj7

I will bring you incense owls at night

G6+9/D Dmaj7 G A

By candle light, by jewel light if only you will stay

Dmaj7 G6+9/D

Pretty baby won't you

B7+9 Dm(addC#)

Wake up, it's a Chelsea morning
