Intro:
Am  G  F  Am
AmIt was early one morning, one Gmorning in AmMay
I was down by the river, Gwalking my way
I was Clookin' behind me, behind all the E7flowers
An Amold man, he stood laughing and Gsmiling for hours
It was early one DmmorE7ning in AmMay
AmSee how she smiles
After Goh, so many E7miles a flowerAmdress
AmHe took my hand softly like I Gknew only he Amwould
And I knew I would love him like I Gknew only I could
And the Ctime passed that morning and E7many days after
I can Amstill feel him touch me and I can Gstill hear his laughter
It was early one DmmornE7ing in AmMay
AmI'll have to go
So goodbye my Glove and E7know I'll be missing Amyou
AmBut one night in September he Gstood there beAmfore me
And then he went softly and I Gknew it was forever
When I Cwalked down to that river, E7that river where I met him
I can Amstill see his face now and I Gknow I can't forget him
It was early one DmmornE7ing in AmMay
 AmI'll have to go
So goodGbye my love E7and know I'll be missing Amyou
AmBut one night in September he Gstood there beAmfore me
And then he went softly and I Gknew it was forever
When I Cwalked down to that river, E7that river where I met him
I can Amstill see his face now and I Gknow I can't forget him
It was early one DmmornE7ing in AmMay
It was early one GmorE7ning in AmMayG  Am
