Intro

GGGG

Vox on the 3 on “early”

It was an Gearly morning Gdim7yesterday Gsus4I was up before the dGawn G

And I Greally have enGdim7joyed my stay Gsus4But I must be moving Gon G

Like a G7/Fking without a castle, like a Em7queen without a throne

I’m an Cearly morning lover, and I Am7must be moving on, yeah

Now GI believe in Gdim7what you say, Gsus4is the undisputed Gtruth G

But I Ghave to have things Gdim7my own way, Gsus4to keep me in my Gyouth G

Like a G7/Fship without an anchor, like a Em7slave without a chain

Just the Cthought of those sweet ladies, sends a Am7shiver through my veins

And GI will go on shining, G7/Fshining like brand new

I’ll Cnever look behind me, my Am7troubles will be few

The second chord here can be a III7

With whistling
