Verse:
E MajorE
Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning, and the first thing that I heard
   A augmentedA        E MajorE        F# minorF#m        E MajorE
Was a song outside my window, and the traffic wrote the words
    A augmentedA        G# minorG#m
It came ringing up like Christmas bells
  F# minorF#m       BB
And rapping up like pipes and drums
  D MajorD           E MajorE
Oh, won't you stay? We'll put on the day
     A augmentedA         E MajorE
And we'll wear it 'till the night comes

Verse:
E MajorE
Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning, and the first thing that I saw
    A augmentedA         E MajorE        F# minorF#m      E MajorE
Was the sun through yellow curtains, and a rainbow on my wall
   A augmentedA           G# minorG#m
Blue, red, green and gold to welcome you
    F# minorF#m       BB
Crimson crystal beads to beckon
  D MajorD           E MajorE
Oh, won't you stay? We'll put on the day
     A augmentedA       E MajorE
There's a sun show every second

Bridge:
A augmentedA        G# minorG#m    F# minorF#m      E MajorE
Now the curtain opens on a portrait of today
    A augmentedA           G# minorG#m
And the streets are paved with passers by
  F# minorF#m                        BB
And pigeons fly and papers lie, just waiting to blow away

Verse:
E MajorE
Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning, and the first thing that I knew
     A augmentedA         E MajorE       F# minorF#m       E MajorE
There was milk and toast and barley, and a bowl of oranges too
    A augmentedA          G# minorG#m
And the light poured in like butterscotch
  F# minorF#m       BB
And stuck to all my senses
  D MajorD           E MajorE
Oh, won't you stay? we'll put on the day
     A augmentedA        E MajorE
And we'll talk in present tenses

Bridge:
A augmentedA        G# minorG#m      F# minorF#m      E MajorE
Now the curtain closes and the rainbow runs away
    A augmentedA         G# minorG#m
I will bring you incense owls by night
  F# minorF#m                      BB
By candlelight, by jewel-light, if only you will stay
N.C.
Pretty baby, won't you
E MajorE
Wake up, it's a Chelsea morning
