[Gm] [Em] [Bb] [G] [Cm] [Gb]
[Gm] Sunday is gloomy, [E] my hours are [Eb] slumberless,
[Gm] Here is the [Eb] shadow
[Bb] [D] numberless,
[Eb] Little white flower will never [D] awaken you,
[Eb] Not where [E] the black coach [Gm] of sorrow [D] has taken you,
[Gm] Angels [Bb] have no thought [Gm] of ever [Eb] returning you,
[Gm] Would that [Eb]
[E] [D] of joy they [Ebm] [D] would not [Gm] be gone,
[D] [E] [Bb]
[G] [Cm] [Gb] [G] Oh, [Bb] May is Sunday, [Gm] with shadows I [Eb] spend it all,
My heart has decided to [D] end it all,
[Eb] Soon there'll be candles [Cm] and prayers [D] that are said I know,
[Gm] Let them [E] not weep, [Cm] let them know that [D] I'm glad to go,
[Gm] Death is [D] no dream, [Bb] for in death I'm [Em] caressing you,
[Eb] With a
[Bbm] [D] love be blessing,
[Ebm] Oh, May [Gm] is Sunday,
[G] [Am] Dreaming, [G] [D] I [G] was only dreaming,
[Am] [B] [Bm] I wake and [C] I find you [Am] asleep,
[Em] In the deep [C] of my [Am] heart,
[D] [C] [Gm] [D] Darling, I hope [Bb] that my dream [E] never haunted you,
[Eb]
[E] How [D] much I wanted [Ab] you,
[E]
Gloomy Sunday,
[Gm]
