When The Morning Comes
Hoyt Axton
Chorus:
(And) D When the morning comes and you A gotta get up
G How you going to find your D shoes
In an empty bed with an A7 achin' head
You G know its got to give you the D blues
D I don't know what's going on here,
I know A things are not all right.
If you want me to I'll go dear,
If you G want I'll stay all D night.
I came here with my broken heart,
G Wrapped away with A care,
And A7 all you do is sit and drink,
And {A}stare ---- at your T D V.
Chorus
D You ask me why I came here,
But A you're the one who phoned.
I wasn't very happy,
But I G did alright a{D}lone.
I thought you learned to love me,
I G guess you never A will.
The A7 key's lost to the kingdom,
And I {A}don't have time to D kill.
Chorus
Instrumental: Verse
Chorus
D So it's goodbye Carolina,
A So long Tennessee.
California's callin',
And G Chicago's good to D me.
My feet are in the stirrups,
My G pony wants A run.
A7 Think I'll hit the highway,
I {A}guess your not the D one.
