Mornin' Ride
View chords used in this chart
G 2 3 4
There's a quiet time in the early dawn
D7
Before the mornin' paper, before the coffee's on
G G7 C
When there ain't much movin' in the world outside
Am D7
Oh I'd love to take a mornin' ride
G
My baby knows it's the time we share
D7
She wakes me gently, brushes back her hair
G G7 C
And she moves into my arms sweet and slow
Am D7 G
I can't wait to get up and go
Gonna take my baby on a mornin' ride
D
When the sun comes slippin' 'round the mountainside
C G
'Bout an hour, maybe two
C D
Ain't nothin' me and her would rather do
G
Than see the green grass glist'nin' in the mornin' dew
While the world's still damn spankin' new
C G C
Oh I know how beautiful the day will be
Em D7 G
When she takes a mornin' ride with me
A
And when we get back, it will feel so right
E7
To just lay back and linger in the mornin' light
A A7 D
Then she'll smile at me, thinkin' where we've been
Bm E7 A
Wantin' me to take her again
I'm gonna take my baby on a mornin' ride
E
When the sun comes slippin' 'round the mountainside
D A
For an hour, maybe two
D E
Ain't nothin' me and her would rather do

Than see the green grass glist'nin' in the mornin' dew
While the world's still damn spankin' new
