[Verse 1]
I was born from lA7ove, and my poor Dmmother worked the mG7ines,
I was rCmaj7aised on the GG7ood Book Cmaj7Jesus, 'till I rA7ead betwEm7een the lines, 
Now I dDmon't beliEmeve I wFanna Dmsee the morniG7ng.
[Chorus]
CmajGoin' down the sGtoney Fend,
I never wEmanted to Dmgo down the sCmajtoney eGnd,
MCmaj7ama, let me stGart all oF-veEmr,
DmCradle Emme, DmMama, cradle Emme agaFin,
Cradle me, MEmama, cradle me agaFin.
[Verse 2]
I can stA7ill remember him wDmith love-light in his eG7yes,
But the lCmaj7ight flickered oG7ut and Cmaj7parted A7as the Em7sun began to rise,
Now I dDmon't beliEmeve I wFanna Dmsee the morniG7ng.
[Chorus]
CmajGoin' down the sGtoney Fend,

'Cause the fCmaj7ury and the bG7roken tCmaj7hunder's come to mA7atch my rEm7agin' soul,
Now I dDmon't beliEmeve I wFanna Dmsee the morniG7ng.
