Velvet Underground - Sunday Morning guitar tab

#

Sunday Morning by The Velvet Under Ground

from "The Velvet Underground & Nico 1967 Verve

written by Lou Reed

Here is an open chord version for guitar.

I know the Album version of this song is tuned down to match

Cale's Viola but I dont know how much.

This version is for standard tuning.

Sunday Morning, The Velvet Underground

G C

Sunday morning

G C

Brings the dawn in

G Em

It's just a restless feeling

Am D

By my side

G C

Early dawning

G C

Sunday Morning

G Em

It's just the wasted years

Am D

So close behind

(Chorus)

G C

Watchout the worlds behind ya

G C

Theres always some one around ya

Am D

who will call it's nothin at all

Sunday Maorning

And I'm falling

Iv'e got a feeling

I dont want to know.

Early dawning

Sunday morning

It's all the streets you crossed

not so long ago

(Chorus)

(Solo)

(Chorus)

(end by repeating "Sunday morning" to fade)

A few things I've added to this are nuances from live

versions of the songs

1. I like to do a little flip on the (D) chords that goes like this

e-2-3-2-0-2

B-3-3-3-3-3

G-2-2-2-0-2

D-0-0-0-0-0

A-x-x-x-x-x

E-x-x-x-x-x

2. On "Live In 1969" they shuffle (G) and (C) in the closing

refrain of "Sunday morning"

G C C C C G C G

Sunday Morning

The solo is a little beyond me and I couldn't tab it any way

because I'm not sure what the true tuning is.

I read about the tune down in the notes for the box set but I

don't own it. Perhaps someone could help on that note.
