Sunday Morning Tab

by Velvet Underground




Sunday Morning by The Velvet Under Ground
from "The Velvet Underground & Nico 1967 Verve
written by Lou Reed

Here is an open chord version for guitar.
I know the Album version of this song is tuned down to match
Cale's Viola but I dont know how much.
This version is for standard tuning.

Sunday Morning, The Velvet Underground

      
Sunday morning
          
Brings the dawn in
           
It's just a restless feeling
    
By my side
     
Early dawning
      
Sunday Morning
             
It's just the wasted years
        
So close  behind
(Chorus)
            
Watchout the worlds behind ya
                  
Theres always some one around ya
                           
who will call it's nothin at all


Sunday Maorning
And I'm falling
Iv'e got a feeling
I dont want to know.
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's all the streets you crossed
not so long ago

(Chorus)
(Solo)
(Chorus)

(end by repeating "Sunday morning" to fade)

A few things I've added to this are nuances from live
versions of the songs
1. I like to do a little flip on the (D) chords that goes like this

-2-3-2-0-2-|
-3-3-3-3-3-|
-2-2-2-0-2-|
-0-0-0-0-0-|
-x-x-x-x-x
-x-x-x-x-x

2. On "Live In 1969" they shuffle (G) and (C) in the closing
refrain of "Sunday morning"

                  
Sunday Morning


The solo is a little beyond me and I couldn't tab it any way
because I'm not sure what the true tuning is.
I read about the tune down in the notes for the box set but I
don't own it. Perhaps someone could help on that note.


                      
sunday morning, praise the dawning
                                 
   it's just a restless feeling by my side
                  
early dawning, sunday morning
                                  
   it's just the wasted years so close behind
          
watch out, the world's behind you(*)
                               
there's always someone around you who will call(*)
               
it's nothing at all(*)
                     
sunday  morning, and i'm falling
                                 
   I've got a feeling i don't want to know
                   
early dawning, sunday morning
                                            
    it's all the streets you crossed not so long ago

REPEAT LINES 5,6 and 7 which are marked by an asterisk(*) 2x
       
sunday  morning
