Biography:
Billie Holiday (Eleanora Fagan Gough, Philadelphia, PA, April 7, 1915 – New York City, NY, July 17, 1959) was an American jazz singer and songwriter.
Nicknamed Lady Day by her loyal friend and musical partner Lester Young, Holiday was a highly original influence on jazz and pop singing. Her vocal style, strongly inspired by jazz instrumentalists, pioneered a new way of manipulating phrasing and tempo. Above all, she was admired for her deeply personal and intimate approach to singing.

[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.

My heart is telling you how much I wanted you.
