Hall And Oates - When The Morning Comes

the classic opener to abandoned luncheonette .

both hall and oates are playing acoustic guitars . this is my approximation of how
to play it on one guitar .

first , there’s a fill that is played occasionally between verses ( and in the
intro ) . here’s how i play it :

E | – – – – – – 7 – – – – – – – 5 – – – – – – – 3 – – – – – – – |
B | – – – – – – 8 – – – – – – – 7 – – – – – – – 3 – – – – – – – |
G | – – – – – – 7 – – – – – – – 7 – – – – – – – 4 – – – – – – – |
D | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – 5 – – – – – – – |
A | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – 5 – – – – – – – |
E | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – 3 – – – – – – – |

intro :

G D C G

G2 D2 C2 ( fill )

G
i went downtown to see milady
D
she stood me up and i stood there waiting
C G
but it’ll be all right when the morning comes

G
now i’m up in the air with the rain in my hair
D
i’ve got nowhere to go , i can go anywhere
C ( fill )
and it’ll be all right when the morning comes

Am7 Bm7
just in passing , i’m not asking that you be anyone but you
Am7
when you come home try to come home alone
C D
it’s so much better with two

now i’m out in the cold and i’m getting old
standing here waiting on you
but it’ll be all right when the morning comes

the rest of the song is played using these chords .

notes :

G2 ( 7 ( 10 ) 9787 )
