Cheryl Wheeler - Piper
## NOTE: ~ = Walk-Down from  Cto  F##
INTRO:   C    F    C    F    G  C  
Early morning Fsunrise come and Gpull the song from Cme
So FI can turn away and rest my Ctired eyesG  
I Ccan't escape the Fhaunting of a Glonely meloCdy
It Fruns around and 'round without a CcompromiseG  
                   F     G          C~     F  
So, where you gonna go, what you gonna do
                                G          C~      F  
You know I can't say "No", can't say good-bye to you
                            G          C~         F  
I can't stop the flow, 'till you've decided to
Hm hm hm, Ghmm C/Ghmm AbhmmBbmmmFmmCmF  C  F  G  C  
The song runs like a Fpiper, like a Gdrummer through my Cbrain
The Fsilence all around, feels so aCpart from meG  
CI could sit and Fcry for all the Glove and all the Cpain
That Fbrings itself to mind inside a CharmonyG  
                   F              G          C~       F  
The softest morning light, can't shine as soft as you
                                 G         C~        F  
The sweetest love in sight, can't love me like you do
                                  G           C~           F  
The swiftest bird in flight, can't climb the path to you
Hm hm hm, Ghmm C/Ghmm AbhmmBbmmmFmmCmF  C  F  G  C  
INSTRUMENTAL:   C    F    C    F    G     C(2x)
Now it's fully Fdawn and nightly Gsilence breaks aCway
InFto the distant sounds of cars and CfactoriesG  
CTraces linger Fon and slowly Gfade into the Cday
And Fleave me with these rounds all humming Cback to meG  
                 F          G        C~       F  
So, now I bid you well and take myself to bed
                            G          C~      F  
The tune you had to tell was soft and kindly said
                       G         C~         F  
I still feel swell from all you comforted
Hm hm hm, Ghmm C/Ghmm AbhmmBbmmmFmmCm
