Early-Greg Brown
DEarly one Gmorning I walked out Dalone,
I looked down the Astreet; no one was Daround.
The sun was just Gcomin' up over my Dhome,
On Hickory AStreet in a little farm Dtown. And
[Chorus:]
DOooo-ee, Gain't the mornin' light Dpretty,
When the dew is still Aheavy, so bright and DearlD7y.G  
My Ghome on the Drange; it's a one-horse Atown,
And it's alright with Dme.G  D  
DPlow broke the Gprairie, the prairie gave Dplenty,
The little towns Ablossomed and soon there were Dmany.
Scattered like Gfireflies across the dark Dnight,
And one was called AEarly, and they sure named it Dright. 'Cause
[Chorus:]
DOooo-ee, Gain't the mornin' light Dpretty,
When the dew is still Aheavy, so bright and DearlD7y.G  
My Ghome on the Drange; it's a one-horse Atown,
And it's alright with Dme.G  D  
DMany dry summers Gparched all the Dfields,
They burnt the fine Acolors and cut down on the Dyield.
But the rain has Greturned to wash away our Dtears,
It's the fullest green Asummer that
We've seen for Ayears. And
[Chorus]
DOooo-ee, Gain't the mornin' light Dpretty,
When the dew is still Aheavy, so bright and DearlD7y.G  
My Ghome on the Drange; it's a one-horse Atown,
And it's alright with Dme.G  D

Early-Greg Brown

D G D

Early one morning I walked out alone,

A D

I looked down the street; no one was around.

G D

The sun was just comin' up over my home,

A D

On Hickory Street in a little farm town. And

[Chorus:]

D G D

Oooo-ee, ain't the mornin' light pretty,

A D D7 G

When the dew is still heavy, so bright and early.

G D A

My home on the range; it's a one-horse town,

D G D

And it's alright with me.

D G D

Plow broke the prairie, the prairie gave plenty,

A D

The little towns blossomed and soon there were many.

G D

Scattered like fireflies across the dark night,

A D

And one was called Early, and they sure named it right. 'Cause

[Chorus:]

D G D

Oooo-ee, ain't the mornin' light pretty,

A D D7 G

When the dew is still heavy, so bright and early.

G D A

My home on the range; it's a one-horse town,

D G D

And it's alright with me.

D G D

Many dry summers parched all the fields,

A D

They burnt the fine colors and cut down on the yield.

G D

But the rain has returned to wash away our tears,

It's the fullest green summer that

We've seen for years. And

[Chorus]

D G D

Oooo-ee, ain't the mornin' light pretty,

A D D7 G

When the dew is still heavy, so bright and early.

G D A

My home on the range; it's a one-horse town,

D G D

And it's alright with me.
