Chords for Diamanda Galas - Gloomy Sunday

[Em] _ _ _ _ _ This next song was [N] sung by Billie Holiday _ called Gloomy Sunday. _ _ _ _
When she first recorded it on the radio, _ [Gbm] _
there [Em] was a _ _ protest _ _ _ from the [F] record company because [G] it was _ _ [Db] _ _
too _ [B] _ [N] pessimistic and depressing. _
_ _ Therefore they had to change the ending to make it more _ optimistic and hopeful.
[B] _ _ And at that moment was [Em] born the first pop music.
[Bm] _ _ _ [B] _
I don't do it that way of course.

_ [Em] _ _ There came [Eb] a Sunday
_ [G] When you came [Dbm] to find me
_ [C] They brought _ [Em] me to church
And [Bbm] I left you [Ebm] _ [B] behind _ _ me
_ _ _ _ _ [C]
My _ eyes [Em] could not _ see when [Bb] I wanted _ to [B] love me _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ There _ [Eb] and the _ flowers [G] were forever _ [C] above _ _ me _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[Em] The bell _ [Eb] tolled for me
[G] And the wind _ [Dbm] whispered never
_ [C] But you I [Em] have loved
And [Bbm] I love you _
_ [Bm] for it
