CHELSEA MORNING
By Joni Mitchell
Woke up, it was a chel-sea morn-ing,
-4 -5 -5 -4 -4 -5 6 -4 -5
and the first thing that I heard
-5 -5 6 7* -6* 6 -8
Was a song out-side my win-dow,
-6* 7* -7 7* 6 6 -4 6
and the traf-fic wrote the words.
6 6 -6* 7* 6 6 -4
It came a-reel-ing up like Christ-mas bells,
6 6 6 -7 7* -6* 6 -4 6 6
and tap-ping up like pipes and drums.
6 -6* 7* -6* 6 -8 -6* -6*
Oh, won’t you stay We’ll put on the day
6 -5 5* -5 -4 -5 6 6 6
And we’ll wear it ‘till the night comes
-6* 7* -7 7* 6 -4 7* 6
Woke up, it was a chel-sea morn-ing,
-4 -5 -5 -4 -4 -5 6 -4 -5
and the first thing that I saw
-5 -5 6 7* -6* 6 -8
Was the sun through yel-low cur-tains,
-6* 7* -7 7* 6 6 -4 6
and a rain-bow on the wall
6 6 -6* 7* 6 6 -4
Blue, red, green and gold to wel-come you,
6 6 -7 7* -6* 6 -4 6 6
Crim-son crys-tal beads to beck-on
6 6 -6* 7* -6* 6 -8 -6*
Oh, won’t you stay We’ll put on the day
6 -5 5* -5 -4 -5 6 6 6
There’s a sun show ev-’ry sec-ond
-6* 7*-7 7* 6 -4 7* 6
Now the cur-tain o-pens on a por-trait of to-day
-7 7* -6* 6 -4 6 6 6 -6* 7* 6 6 -4
And the streets are paved with pass-ers-by.
6 6 -7 7* -6* 6 -5* 7* 7*
And pig-eons fly. And pa-pers lie
-4 -7 7* -6* 6 -7 7* -6*6
A-wait-ing to blow a-way.
6 6 -7 7* -6*6 6 -4
Woke up, it was a chel-sea morn-ing,
-4 -5 -5 -4 -4 -5 6 -4 -5
and the first thing that I knew.
-5 -5 6 7* -6* 6 -8
There was milk and toast and hon-ey
-6* 7* -7 7* 6 6 -4 6
and a bowl of or-ang-es, too
6 6 -6* 7* 6 6 6 -4
And the sun poured in like but-ter-scotch
6 6 -7 7* -6* 6 -4 6 6
and stuck to all my sen-ses
6 -6* 7* -6* 6 -8 -6*
Oh, won’t you stay We’ll put on the day
6 -5 5* -5 -4 -5 6 6 6
And we-ll talk in pres-ent ten-ses
-6* 7* -7 7* 6 -4 7* 6
When the cur-tain clos-es
-7 7* -6* 6 -4 6
and the rain-bow runs a-way
6 6 -6* 7* 6 6 -4
I will bring you in-cense owls by night
6 6 -7 7* -6* 6 -5* 7* 7*
By can-dle-light By jew-el-light
7* -7 7* -6* 6 -7 7* -6*
If on-ly you will stay
6 6 7* -6* 6-6* -6*
Pret-ty ba-by, won’t you
-6* 7* -7 7* -6* 6
Wake up, it’s a chel-sea morn-ing
-4 -5 -5 -4 -5 6 -4 -8
