I wAake up in the early when I see my day walk in
I wake up in the early when I start to begin
I drink up my coffee to drive dreams away
And I tE7hink about leaving but remain for the dAay
AOh, glory but I jE7ust stay blind
TAhink about my loving, yes, E7some of the time
I D7/F#want to take it eA7asy
Ain't it D7/F#hard like they A7say

But Orpheus made the sunrise
'Cause he kEnew how to pA7lay
Well, she sings so D7/F#fadey, I called my guitar laA7dy
She's a nE7oted writer, I just can't seem to let her A7be
And she is my D7/F#flower, I call her my easy hA7our
She's a lE7ow special, and baby that's enough for A7me
And D7/F#it's all right, you're in the graveyard nA7ow
Well D7/F#it's all right, you're in the graveyard A7now
You may D7/F#weep, you may mA7oan
You may D7/F#pass your life so gA7ay
But lA7ucky in life, I swear sometimes
SB7urely going to have to meet your leaving E7day
Well, she sings like the sD7/F#eashore
Tonight I don't ride on your sA7eesaw
I will cE7all up the angels if they have a little word to A7say
And I think I'll try cloud wD7/F#alking
It's just my face you see here tA7alking
And it's just the gE7uitar singing
And I have to let her have her A7way

Intro

I wake up in the early when I see my day walk in

I wake up in the early when I start to begin

I drink up my coffee to drive dreams away

E7 A

And I think about leaving but remain for the day

A E7

Oh, glory but I just stay blind

A E7

Think about my loving, yes, some of the time

D7/F# A7

I want to take it easy

D7/F# A7

Ain't it hard like they say

B7 E7

But I can play

A/G B7/F# A/G B7/F#

And most any morning, most any morning

D E A7

I like to be born into my guitar day

A/G B7/F#

They say it's all butterflies

A/G B7/F#

Don't let your dreams get in your eyes

D B*

But Orpheus made the sunrise

E A7

'Cause he knew how to play

D7/F# A7

Well, she sings so fadey, I called my guitar lady

E7 A7

She's a noted writer, I just can't seem to let her be

D7/F# A7

And she is my flower, I call her my easy hour

E7 A7

She's a low special, and baby that's enough for me

D7/F# A7

And it's all right, you're in the graveyard now

D7/F# A7

Well it's all right, you're in the graveyard now

D7/F# A7

You may weep, you may moan

D7/F# A7

You may pass your life so gay

But lucky in life, I swear sometimes

B7 E7

Surely going to have to meet your leaving day

D7/F#

Well, she sings like the seashore

Tonight I don't ride on your seesaw

E7 A7

I will call up the angels if they have a little word to say

D7/F#

And I think I'll try cloud walking

It's just my face you see here talking

And it's just the guitar singing

And I have to let her have her way

E7 D7/F# A7
