|  Bm|  Bb   C|  G|  G|
[Verse 1]
GEarly in the morning
About the break of day
The earlybird is working
So his life don't fade away
CmSpends his days denying that
DmHe's got no time for flying
GIn the breeze
CmHigh up on his own, Dmthe eagle flies alone
GAnd he is free
[Verse 2]
GEarlybird is scratching though
The going's getting tough
Time is passing by him and he just
Can't get enough
He'll tell you all is going well
Though knows that something's wrong
The earlybird will wake one day
And find his life is gone
[Break]
|  Bm|  Bb   C|  G|  G|

[Verse 3]
GYou know I like to lay in bed
And sleep out in the sun
Reading books and playing crazy music
Just for fun
You know it makes feel so fine
And sets my mind at ease to
Know that I don't harm a soul
In doing what I please
[Bridge]

Ain't going to fade away
Any old day you say
Ain't going to fade away

Early in the morning

About the break of day

The earlybird is working

So his life don't fade away

Spends his days denying that

He's got no time for flying

In the breeze

Cm Dm

High up on his own, the eagle flies alone

And he is free

Earlybird is scratching though

The going's getting tough

Time is passing by him and he just

Can't get enough

He'll tell you all is going well

Though knows that something's wrong

The earlybird will wake one day

And find his life is gone
