Slow Like Sundays
D♭ major96 BPM4/44:24Coastal DriftSomewhere Past Midnighthigh confidence
Capo 1 — play the shapes in C and it sounds in D♭ major. Much easier than fingering D♭ major straight.
Verse 1
Dust in the light through the open blinds
Cotton sheets and a wandering mind
Dog with one ear up, half asleep
Ceiling fan turning like it's all it needs
You stretch real long, then settle back in
Stay where the warmth of your skin's been
Old wood floor where the sun comes through
Painting golden over me and you
Pre-Chorus
Don't owe nobody a single word
Just the breathing of the morning heard
Chorus
Slow like Sundays
Soft as the porch in early May
Hours go by like the wind is reading
Time forgot it's supposed to be leading
Slow like Sundays
Warm where the sunlight comes to stay
Quiet kind of close that we don't have to say
Like the whole wide world picked the kindest day
Slow like Sundays...
Verse 2
Pages turning in the other room
You barefoot in the kitchen's bloom
Toast and butter, a slow-spin tune
Outside the window, the sky's just blue
Yard out back where the lemon trees grow
Wind so easy you can hear it go
Some kind of peace I can't explain
Like time decided to stay the same
Pre-Chorus
Don't have to do, don't have to be
Just exactly here next to me
Chorus
Slow like Sundays
Soft as the porch in early May
Hours go by like the wind is reading
Time forgot it's supposed to be leading
Slow like Sundays
Warm where the sunlight comes to stay
Quiet kind of close that we don't have to say
Like the whole wide world picked the kindest day
Slow like Sundays...
Bridge
Maybe Monday's coming
But it ain't coming now
Got the whole morning humming
Sweet and slow somehow
Final Chorus
Slow like Sundays
Light just painting where it wants to play
Hours go by like the wind is reading
Time forgot it's supposed to be leading
Slow like Sundays
Soft as the porch on a quiet day
Quiet kind of close I'll keep for always
Found my forever in a backyard haze
Slow like Sundays...
Outro
Slow like Sundays...
Easy like Sundays...

Generated from the chord chart. These are real guitar shapes for the chords we detected, not a transcription of what was played on the record.
Raw note map (experimental)
This is the unfiltered pitch detection across the whole mix — vocals, bass and drums included — mapped onto a fretboard. It is not a playable arrangement and no one should try to read it as one. It is here only because it is the raw material everything else was built from.
Download note mapA lead sheet, not a full score. The melody line has been reduced automatically from the recording and paired with the detected chords. Expect the shape of the tune to be right and the details to be approximate.
