Woke up it was a Chelsea morning and the first thing that I heard G6+9/D Was a song outside my window and the traffic wrote the words G6+9/DDsus4addE It came ringing up like Christmas bells and rapping up like pipes and drums D7sus4Dsus4addB Oh, won't you stay? We'll put on the day Dsus4/FDsus4/E And we'll wear it till the night comes
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
G6+9/D Now the curtain opens on a portrait of today
And the streets are paved with passers by G6+9/D And pigeons fly and papers lie G6+9/D 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
