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).

Verse 1
[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
Verse 2
[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
