Ralph Mctell - Walk Into The Morning

[ verse 1 ]
C Dm F C
no money in my pocket but a cigarette in my mouth
C Am D7 G7
no fixed destination cept some vague direction south
F G C Em Am
bedroll on my shoulder a guitar for company
C G F C
some woody guthrie songs and the road in front of me
C G F C
[ verse 2 ]
C Dm F C
didn’t need to hear a freight train to know sonny terry’s harp
C Am D7 G7
was an aching cry for freedom whistling in my dark
F G C Em Am
a simple leap of faith that reason can’t erode
C G F C
grabbed my coat and my guitar and headed for the road
C G F C
[ verse 3 ]
C Dm F C
at night my coat a pillow , i lay memorising stars
C Am D7 G7
like some deserted lover my arm around my guitar
F G C Em Am
promises get broken , reason searches rhyme
C G F C
conscience held to ransom , hostage to the road and time
C G F C
[ verse 4 ]
C Dm F C
below the lies of heaven a frightened world must spin
C Am D7 G7
discerning between things you’re taught and what you learned within
F G C Em Am
the evening sky is fading to the colour of my jeans
C G F C
i’m writing with my finger in the dust that falls from dreams
C G F C
[ verse 5 ]
C Dm F C
beyond the endless night , i glimpsed infinity
C Am D7 G7
i shivered at the joke until the rain soaked into me
F G C Em Am
and woke me at the roadside just as the day was dawning
C G F C
grabbed my guitar and my coat and walked into the morning
C G F C
grabbed my guitar and my coat and walked into the morning
