Intro:
E

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

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

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

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

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