Verse
G#m
You know I love getting up in the morning
B
When the sun first strikes the trees
Fb D#m
All the morning birds that sing above
Fb F#
Still bring back memories
G#m
Of a girl who stood beside me
B
When the rights I did were wrong
Fb D#m
But she went back down the river
Fb F#
Just when I thought I could be strong
Fb B
When I thought I could be strong, so I sing
[Chorus]
[N.C.]
I.O. I. I. I. I. I. I. O. I. O.
B G#m
I.O. I. I. I. I. I. I. O. I. O.
[Verse 2]
G#m
She never told me why she left me
B
But the letter said goodbye
Fb D#m
Now my mornings are for wond'ring
Fb F#
And my nights to reason why
G#m
Why a stranger comes to steal the love
B
Of a girl I had to hold
Fb D#m
But she went back down the river
Fb F#
Just when I thought I could be strong
Fb B
When I thought I could be strong, so I sing
[Chorus]
[N.C.]
I.O. I. I. I. I. I. I. O. I. O.
