D
I've seen the sun for the first time
G
In a week or so
D
I wipe the sleep from my eyes
G
I've got nowhere to go
D
A cup of coffee in my hand
G
I've got me a smoke
C
There nothing doin
G D
I just wanna be alone
D
The right end of the sun rise
G
It sure looks nice
D
To see a new day taking shape
G
Not startin with no night
D
Well I been rollin along on a thin dime
G
And I'm happy to be home
C G D
Please forgive me I just wanna be alone
A G
Well I'm gonna finish this pot of coffee
D A
And I'm gonna put another on
A G
Well I might grab my thread-bear Martin
D A
And pick me out a song
Bm A
I know I'll sit right here I'll smoke one more
G G/F# E
And just enjoy the dawn

I'm not angry I just wanna be alone
( A G D A G D Bm A G G/F# E C G D )
D
Spent my lifetime runnin around
G
It suits me fine
D
Shakin hands and one night stands
G
That's what gets me by
D
But the days gettin short
And the songs getting long
G
It's time to go
C G D
No I'm not angry I just wanna be alone

Well I'm gonna finish this pot of coffee

And I'm gonna put another on

Well I might grab my thread-bear Martin

I know I'll sit right here I'll smoke one more

And just enjoy the dawn
