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.

Sunday is gloomy my hours are slumberless
Am Am7 D E
Dearest the shadows I live with are numberless
Dm Dm7 F E
Little white flowers will never awaken you
Am Am7 D E
Not where the black coach of sorrow has taken you
Am Am7 D F
Angels have no thought of ever returning you -
Am Am7 D E F E
Would they be angry if I thought of joining you

Gloomy Sunday
Am Am7 D F
Gloomy Sunday with shadows I spend it all
Am Am7 D E
My heart and I have decided to end it all
Dm Dm7 F E
Soon there'll be candles and prayers that are sad I know
Am Am7 D E
Let them not weep let them know that I'm glad to go
Am Am7 D F E
Death is no dream for in death I'm caressing you
Am Am7 D E F E
With the last breath of my soul I'll be blessing you
Am7 E Am Am7 D F E
