[Verse 1]
 
 
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.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
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.
 
 
[Bridge]
 
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.
