[Intro]
B7 E B7 E
[Verse]
B7                         E
    Morningside,        the old man died,
     B7                 E
and no one cried, they simply turned away.
      A                                     E
And when he died, he left a table made of nails and pride, 
                                    B7                    E
and with his hands he carved these words inside; "For my children."
[Verse]
 B7                         E
     Morning light,         morning bright,
     B7                    E
I spent the night with dreams that make you weep.
   A                                             E
Morning time, wash away the sadness from these eyes of mine,
                             B7                       E
for I recall the words the old man signed; "For my children."
[Chorus]
(spoken)
A
And the legs were shaped with his hands,
E
and the top made of oaken wood,
B7
and the children that sat around this great table
                              E
touched with their laughter, ah, and that was good.
[Verse]
B7                        E
    Morningside,         an old man died,
       B7               E
and no one cried, he surely died alone.
         A                                         E
And truth is sad, for not a child would claim the gift he had,
                                B7                 E
the words he carved became his epitaph; "For my children."
