Fairport Convention - Chelsea morning

^EWoke up, it was a Chelsea morning, and the first thing that I heard Was a ^Asong outside my ^Ewindow, and the ^F#mtraffic wrote the ^Ewords It came^A ringing up like ^G#mChristmas bells And ^F#mrapping up like ^Bpipes and drums Oh, ^Dwon't you stay? We'll ^Eput on the day And we'll ^Awear it 'till the ^Enight comes

^EWoke up, it was a Chelsea morning, and the first thing that I saw Was the ^Asun through yellow ^Ecurtains, and a ^F#mrainbow on my ^Ewall Blue, ^Ared, green and gold to ^G#mwelcome you Crimson ^F#mcrystal beads to ^Bbeckon Oh, ^Dwon't you stay? We'll ^Eput on the day There's a ^Asun show every ^Esecond

^ANow the curtain ^G#mopens on a ^F#mportrait of to^Eday And the ^Astreets are paved with ^G#mpassers by And ^F#mpigeons fly and papers lie, just waiting to blow a^Bway

^EWoke up, it was a Chelsea morning, and the first thing that I knew There was ^Amilk and toast and ^Ebarley, and a ^F#mbowl of oranges ^Etoo And the ^Alight poured in like ^G#mbutterscotch And ^F#mstuck to all my ^Bsenses Oh, ^Dwon't you stay? we'll ^Eput on the day And we'll ^Atalk in present ^Etenses

^ANow the curtain ^G#mcloses and the ^F#mrainbow runs a^Eway I will ^Abring you incense ^G#mowls by night By ^F#mcandlelight, by jewel-light, if only you will ^Bstay
