                                         E                       
Woke up it was a Chelsea morning and the first thing that I heard
      A    E                         Bsus4             E    
Was a song outside my window and the traffic wrote the words
        A        E                           Bsus4                     Esus4
It came areeling up like Christmas bells and rapping up like pipes and drums
         Esus4   
Oh won't you stay
      A          E  
We'll put on the day
                            E          
And we'll wear it 'till the night comes
                                         E                     
Woke up it was a Chelsea morning and the first thing that I saw
        A                  E              Bsus4          E   
Was the sun through yellow curtains and a rainbow on the wall
         A                 E           Bsus4                          
Blue red green and gold to welcome you crimson crystal beads to beckon
Bm7 Esus4         
Oh  won't you stay
      A             
We'll put on the day
                   E           
There's a sun show every second
Gbm7            E          Bsus4       E    
Now the curtain opens on a portrait of today
        A           E                   
And the streets are paved with passersby
    E          
And pigeons fly
    E         
And papers lie
A          E    A    E
Waiting to blow away ■


[Chorus]
                 E                                              
Woke up it was a Chelsea morning and the first thing that I knew
          A                  E                              
There was milk and toast and honey and a bowl of oranges too
        A                  E                                Bsus4 
And the sun poured in like butterscotch and stuck to all my senses
Esus4            
Oh won't you stay
A                   
We'll put on the day
          E                     
And we'll talk in present tenses
                 Emaj7          E                
When the curtain closes and the rainbow runs away
                         E            
I will bring you incense owls by night
   E          
By candlelight
E            
By jewellight
A           B        
If only you will stay
E                    
Pretty baby won't you
               Bm      E      
Wake up it's a Chelsea morning
