GettGing up early to sCee the mist still kissiGng the land
I watch the Emsun rise the way the Amgreat creator Dplanned
I walk aBmlong grass, I get my Clegs all covered in Gdew
Getting up early, Dremembering Gyou
GettDing up earlyG, remembering you
Out in the meadow I see the cows beginning to graze
I watch the crow fly, I see the sun start burning the haze
These sunny mornings there's not a whole lot left to do
Getting up early, remembering you
Getting up early, remembering you
Chorus:
How Dmany Emtimes did we breathe the morning Asun?
And send the Emstars off to bedtime one by Aone
We'd sing GMisDter EmTambourine man CthenAm  
Fall into each Aother's arms aDgain
Getting up early these days I just can't stay in bed
I make the coffee, an old song runs around my head
Out on the backwoods I've got a long day to get through

I walk along grass, I get my legs all covered in dew

D G

Getting up early, remembering you

D G

Getting up early, remembering you

Out in the meadow I see the cows beginning to graze

I watch the crow fly, I see the sun start burning the haze

These sunny mornings there's not a whole lot left to do

Getting up early, remembering you

Chorus:

D Em A

How many times did we breathe the morning sun?

And send the stars off to bedtime one by one

We'd sing Mister Tambourine man then

Fall into each other's arms again

Getting up early these days I just can't stay in bed

I make the coffee, an old song runs around my head

Out on the backwoods I've got a long day to get through
