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

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

e-2-3-2-0-2
[B-3-3-3-3-3]G-2-2-2-0-2
D-0-0-0-0-0
A-x-x-x-x-x
E-x-x-x-x-x

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

[G]Sunday [C]Morning[C][C][C][G][C][G]

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.
