Am  E/A  E7  Am  E/A  E7
[Verse 1]
The Amstars begin to Dmfade
The early Emorning E7mist is AmliftingC  F  
As he Amwakes with the Gsilence still unCbrokenE7  
The Amnight has rolled aDmway
The dawn is Ecreeping E7through the AmwindowC  F  
As he Amrubs the E7shadows from his AmeyesE7  
[Verse 2]
The Amsun begins to Dmrise
To warm the Eroom where E7he was AmsleepingC  F  
As he Amreads through the Gheadlines of the CpapersE7  
The Amdew is fading Dmfast
As he is Ewalking E7through the Amlong grassC  F  
With the Amchurch bell E7sounding in the AmtowerE7  
[Instrumental]
Am   Dm   E  E7  Am  C  F   E7   Am   E7

He Amwaits inside the Fdoor
The Gclock strikes out the Chour
He Dmsmiles, pausing for a Amword as they arErive
AmFarmers with their Fwives
GChildren with their Cflowers
DmLadies in their Ambright mid-summer Eclothes
[Verse 4]
The Amstained glass windows Dmshine
The congreEgation E7kneels in AmsilenceC  F  
Then the organ and E7choirF  E  
Join the birds in the AmtreesC  F  
As they sing their AmSunday E7morning Amsong
[Outro]
Am  E/A  E7  Am  E/A  E7
