  			Am        Am7/G  D/F#          F        
Sunday is gloomy my hours are slumberless. 

Am           Am7/G     D/F#          E 
Dearest, the shadows I live with are numberless. 

Dm           Dm+7         F       E 
Little white flowers will never awaken you, 

Am            Am7/G          D/F#        E 
Not where the black coach of sorrow has taken you. 

Am        Am7/G          D/F#     F 
Angels have no thought of ever returning you -- 

Am            Am7/G   D/F#          E           F   E 
Would they be angry if I thought of joining you? 

Am7  E  Am        Am7/G  D/F#  F  E 
Gloomy Sunday. 


Am        Am7/G     D/F#        F 
Gloomy Sunday, with shadows I spend it all; 

Am          Am7/G     D/F#      E 
My heart and I have decided to end it all. 

Dm               Dm+7         F                E 
Soon there'll be candles and prayers that are sad, I know; 

Am           Am7/G          D/F#           E 
Let them not weep, let them know that I'm glad to go. 


Am         Am7/G          D/F#       F          E 
Death is no dream, for in death I'm caressing you; 

Am            Am7/G        D/F#           E           F   E 
With the last breath of my soul, I'll be blessing you. 

Am7  E  Am        Am7/G  D/F#  F  E 
Gloomy Sunday. 


A    D9   A  D9          A       D9   A   D9 
Dreaming   -  I was only dreaming. 

  A           Bm7       C#m7         F#m       B7      F7   E7 
I wake and I find you asleep in the deep of my heart, dear. 


Am         Am7/G         D/F#       F        E 
Darling, I hope that my dream never haunted you; 

Am           Am7/G       D/F#       E          F   E 
My heart is telling you how much I wanted you. 

Am7  E  Am        Am7/G  D/F#  F  E  Am 
Gloomy Sunday.
