GLOOMY SUNDAY - Billie Holiday
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: omnipotato

Tuning: Standard

This is sort of a combination of the original Hungarian version and Billie
Holiday's version (the bridge "Dreaming, I was only dreaming" is not included
since it wasn't in the original, and I think it kills the whole mood of the

song).

Em Em7
Sunday is gloomy;
C#m7b5 Am
My hours are slumberless.
Em Am6/9
Dearest, the shadows
A#dim7 B7
I live with are numberless.
CM7
Little white flowers
Am7 B7
Will never awaken you;
G Am6/9
Not where the black coach of
A#dim7 B7
Sorrow has taken you.

Em Em7
Angels have no thought
C#m7b5 Am
Of ever returning you.
Em Am6/9
Would they be angry
A#dim7 B7
If I thought of joining you?

B7b9 B7 Em
Gloomy Sunday

Em Em7
Gloomy is Sunday;
C#m7b5 Am
With shadows I spend it all.
Am7
My heart and I
B7
Have decided to end it all.
Am7
Soon there'll be candles
C B7
And prayers that are said, I know.
G C#m7b5
Let them not weep;
C B7
Let them know that I'm glad to go.

Em EmM7
Death is no dream,
Em7 Emadd6
For in death I'm caressing you.
C
With the last breath of my soul
F#m7 B7
I'll be blessing you.

Am Adim7 Em
Gloomy Sunday
