CHELSEA MORNING
(Joni Mitchell)

Woke up (big this) it was a Chelsea morning and the first thing that I heard
Was a song outside my window
And the traffic wrote the words
It came ringing up like Christmas bells
And rapping up like pipes and drums
Oh, won't you stay, we'll put on a day
And we'll wear it till the night comes

Woke up(big this) it was a Chelsea morning and the first thing that I saw
Was the sun through yellow curtains
And a rainbow on my wall
Blue, red, green and gold to welcome you
Crimson, crystal (peaks) beads to beckon
Oh, won't you stay, we'll put on a day,
There's a side-show every second

Now the curtain opens on a portrait of today
And the streets are paved with passers-by
And (pictures) pigeons fly and papers lie
Just waiting to blow away

Woke up (big this) it was a Chelsea morning and the first thing that I knew
There was milk and toast and honey
And a bowl of oranges too
And the light poured in like butterscotch
And stuck to all my senses
Oh, won't you stay, we'll put on a day
And we'll talk in present tenses

Now the curtain closes and the rainbow runs away
I'll bring you incense(,) owls by night
By candle-light, by jewel-light
If only you will stay

Pretty baby, won't you
Wake up, it's (the) a Chelsea morning

JACK O'DIAMONDS
(Bob Dylan & Carruthers)

Jack O'Diamonds, on the move
Jack O'Diamonds, one-eyed knave
On the move, hits the street
Bumps his head, on the ground
Well, he's a scout, you're born to lose
Shouldn't stay
Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card to play

Jack O'Diamonds, yeah Jack O'Diamonds
This one-eyed prince, wears a (*single love*) single glove
Oh sure, he's not that lovely
Jack O'Diamonds broke my hand
Left me here to stand
Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card to land

Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card
Jack O'Diamonds is a high card
Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card
But it ain't hard enough
(Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card to land - remove)
Jack O'Diamonds can open for riches
Jack O'Diamonds but then it switches
(Colour by) Cover my picture but it's only a ten
(But it ain't hard enough -remove) Diamond

(Jack O'Diamonds, yeah Jack O'Diamonds
Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card to play - remove)
Jack O'Diamonds, yeah Jack O'Diamonds
This one-eyed prince, wears a (*single love*) single glove
Oh sure, he's not that lovely
Jack O'Diamonds broke my hand (diamonds - remove)
Left me here to stand (hard card to play -remove )
(Jack O'Diamonds, yeah Jack O'Diamonds - remove)
Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card to play (ove* - remove)
Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card
Jack O'Diamonds is a high card
Jack O'Diamonds is a hard card
But it ain't hard enough
Jack O'Diamonds can open for riches (ay - remove)
Jack O'Diamonds but then it switches
(Colour by) Cover my picture but it's only a ten
