When The Morning Comes.
Hoyt Axton.
Album: Life Machine.
DAnd when the A7morning comes and you Dgotta get Aup,
GHow you going to find your Dshoes?
In an A7empty bed with an Aaching head,
You Gknow it's gotta give you the Dblues.
DI don't know what's going on here,
I know Athings are not all right,
AIf you want me to I'll go dear,
If you Gwant, I'll Em7stay all Dnight.
DCame here with my D7broken heart,
GWrapped away with E7care,
AAll you do is sit and drink,
AAnd stare, at Emyour DTV.
And when the A7morning comes and you Dgotta get Aup,
GHow you going to find your Dshoes?
In an A7empty bed with an Aaching head,
You Gknow it's gotta give you the Dblues.
DYou ask me, why I came here,
But A7you're the one who phoned,
I wasn't very Ahappy,
But I did alGright Dalone.
DI thought you learned to love me,
I Gguess you never Ewill,
The Akey's lost to the kingdom,
And I don't have time to Dkill.
And when the A7morning comes and you Dgotta get Aup,
GHow you going to find your Dshoes?
In an A7empty bed with an Aaching head,
You Gknow it's gotta give you the Dblues.
D A D A G D G E7 A D
DSo it's goodbye, Carolina,
ASo long, Tennessee,
ACalifornia's calling,
And GChicago's good to Dme.
DMy feet are in the stirrups,
My Gpony wants to Erun,
AThink I'll hit the highway,
AI guess you're not the Done.
And when the A7morning comes and you Dgotta get Aup,
GHow you going to find your Dshoes?
In an A7empty bed with an Aaching head,
You Gknow it's gotta give you the Dblues.
When the A7morning comes and you Dgotta get Aup,
GHow you going to find your Dshoes?
In an A7empty bed with an Aaching head,
You Gknow it's gotta give you the Dblues.
