Gloomy Sunday Chords

(ver. 1)
Billie Holiday
[Intro]
Em6 Em7 Am6 B7 Em
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em        Em7/D  C#m7b5          CM7
Sunday is gloomy my hours are slumberless.
Em/B    Am7        A#dim7        B7
Dearest, the shadows I live with are numberless.
Am7          Am/G        F#7      F7b5
Little white flowers will never awaken you,
Em            Em7/D          C#m7b5      B7
Not where the black coach of sorrow has taken    you.
Em          Em7/D  C#m7b5          CM7
Angels have no thought of ever returning you --
Em/B         Am7      A#dim7       B7
Would they be angry if I thought of joining you?
Am7  F7b5  Em     Em6 Em7 Am6 B7 Em
       Gloomy Sunday.
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em        Em7/D  C#m7b5          CM7
Gloomy Sunday, with shadows I spend it all;
Em/B    Am7        A#dim7        B7
My heart and I have decided to end it all.
Am7          Am/G        F#7      F7b5
Soon there'll be candles and prayers that are sad, I know;
Em            Em7/D          C#m7b5  B7
Let them not weep, let them know that I'm glad to go.
Em          Em7/D  C#m7b5          CM7
Death is no dream, for in death I'm caressing you;
Em/B         Am7      A#dim7       B7
With the last breath of my soul, I'll be blessing you.
Am7  F7b5  Em        A/B E6
       Gloomy Sunday.
 
 
[Bridge]
EM7    A/B    EM7   D#7#5          E6   A/B   E6   A/B
Dreaming   -  I was only dreaming.
  E           F#m7      EM7/G#      C#m7       C7      B7#5
I wake and I find you asleep in the deep of my heart, dear.
Em        Em7/D  C#m7b5          CM7
Darling, I hope that my dream never haunted you;
Em/B    Am7        A#dim7        B7
My heart is telling you how much I wanted you.
Am7  F7b5  Em
       Gloomy Sunday.
