[Verse]
A
It's that time of the morning
When the sun starts coming up.
And I'm standin' on the corner
With my guitar and my cup.
And I’m waitin' for some people
D A
To come by and fill it up.
E A
But my sun ain’t come up yet this mornin'
[Verse]
A
I’ve spent nights in a barroom
For the small change I can make
But the money don’t repay me
For the things I have to take
Somebody buys me liquor
D A
Then they laugh at how I shake
E A
But it makes my sun come up each morning
[Verse]
A
There's that man with a spit shine
On his shoes, I know him well.
He'll flip me half a dollar,
Walk on by me, turn and yell,
Hey that five spot ain't for liquor
D A
Well, he can go to hell.
E A
Cause he just made my sun come up this mornin'
*** Key change to Bb on video, capo 3
[Verse]
A
God, I wish I could remember
How it feels to be a man
To get knocked down and have the guts
To get back up again
And know that I don’t really need
D A
This bottle in my hand
E A
To make my sun come up each morning
*** Key change to B on video capo 4
[Verse]
A
I guess the devil knows he’s got me
When the bottle does me in
But hell, can’t be no worse
Than places I’ve already been
And I don’t want to go to heaven
D A D A
Cause I hear there ain’t no Gin
N.C.
To make my sun come up each morning
[Verse]
A
It's that time of the mornin'
When the sun starts coming up.
And I'm standin' on the corner
With my guitar and my cup.
And I’m waitin' for some people
D A
To come by and fill it up.
E A
But my sun ain’t come up yet this mornin'
[Outro]
