We'll put on the day Dsus4/F Dsus4/E D And we'll wear it till the night comes D Dsus4addB D Woke up it was a Chelsea morning and the first thing that I saw Was the sun through yellow curtains and a rainbow on my wall Red, green and gold to welcome you, crimson crystal bells to beckon Oh, won't you stay?
