verse 1
Dm
you know i love getting up in the morning
F
when the sun first strikes the trees
A# Am
all the morning birds that sing above
A# C
still bring back memories
Dm
of a girl who stood beside me
F
when the rights i did were wrong
A# Am
but she went back down the river
A# C
just when i thought i could be strong
A# F
when i thought i could be strong , so i sing

verse 2
Dm
she never told me why she left me
F
but the letter said goodbye
A# Am
now my mornings are for wond’ring
A# C
and my nights to reason why
Dm
why a stranger comes to steal the love
F
of a girl i had to hold
A# Am
but she went back down the river
A# C
just when i thought i could be strong
A# F
when i thought i could be strong , so i sing
