CAPO: 3rd Fret
Intro: Bm D Bm D Am
An early morning melody
G D Am
Playing in the scenery of my mind
Rainy days and ocean tides
G
Through the hills and greenwood sides
D Bm
Like a wind chime
I think of you that way a lot
G D A
Singing to the coffeepot and the kitchen wall
Always up before the sun
G Bm
Picking out some pretty run, on the strings
D Bm D Am
Like a waterfall, like a waterfall
You've given me so many songs
G D Am
Ones that kept me going on when I'd wonder why
Weaving through the busy days
G
They were colours in the misty haze
D Bm
Like rainbow rhymes
Reminding me that even prison walls
G D A
Turn to dust and fall before the open sky
And love can find you in the darkest hour
G Bm
Touch you lightly as a flower on coloured wings
D Bm D
Like a butterfly, like a butterfly
Instrumental: Am G D Am G D Bm G D A G Bm D Bm D Am
Thought I'd let you know
G D Am
I heard you singing soft and low when I woke today
I got up to play along
G
And found myself with a morning song
D Bm
To send your way
Thanking you for all the times
G D A
You've listened to these sunrise lines I've made for you
I see your face before me now
G Bm
Smiling as if you know somehow, you've touched my day
D Bm D Am G D
Like the morning dew, like the morning dew
