A3 Woke Up This Morning - with spoken intro Chords

[Fm] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ And after three [Fm] days of drinking with every love, I [Bb] just get an inkling to go on home.
[F] So I'm walking down Coal Harbor [Bb] Lane, head hung low, three or [Fm] four in the morning.
The sun's [Bb] coming up and [Gb] the birds are out [Bb] singing.
[Fm] I let myself into my pad, wind [Bb] my way up that spiral staircase and [Fm] stretch out nice on just a few.
[Bb] Hit the camcorder cause the [F] record's [Fm] already on the CD player and I just push that remote [Bb] button to sublimity.
And [Fm] listen to the sweet sculptural rhythms of [Bb] Charles Lynch.
And G.R. [F] Monrose and Jackie McLean duet on no [Bb] saxophones and the sound [Fm] makes its way out the window,
mingling with the [Bb] traffic noises outside, you know.
[F] All of a sudden I'm [Fm] overcome by a [Bb] feeling of brief [Fm] mortality.
Cause I'm getting on in the [Bb] world, coming up on 41 years.
[Fm] _ 41 stony gravesteps [Bb] towards the grave, you know, the box [Fm] awaits its release.
And I'm gonna be food [Bb] for worms.
And just like Charles [Fm] Mingus wrote that beautiful piece of music epic [Bb] opera, Eric Dolphy,
_ [Fm] I say, so long Eric, [Bb] so long John Coltrane and Charles Mingus, [F] so long Juke Ellington and Leslie Young,
[Bb] so long Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald, [Fm] so long Jimmy [Bb] Reed, so long Muddy Waters, [F] and so long Howlin' Wolf.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Fm] Woke last [Bb] mornin', got yourself a gun.
[Fm] Mama always said you'd [Bb] be a chosen one.
[Fm] She said, why in the darn [Bb] you got to burn the shine?
[Fm] Well, home of the rabbits, [Bb] and the blue moon in your eyes.
[Fm] Woke last [Bb] mornin', all that [F] love had gone.
Your papa never told you about right and wrong.
[Fm] But you're looking good, [Bb] baby, I believe that you're feeling fine.
[Fm] Shaking my body, boner of bad sign.
[F] Blue moon in your eyes, [Fm] sing it now.
[F] Woke up this mornin',
oh yeah, oh yeah,
[Fm] _ blue moon, blue moon, [F] oh yeah, oh yeah.
[Fm] Woke up this mornin',
[F] oh yeah, oh [Fm] yeah,
blue moon, blue moon, [F] oh yeah, oh yeah.
[Fm] Woke up this mornin', the world turned upside down.
You know the blues ain't been the same, since the blues walked in our town.
Hey, whatcha, whatcha want in a million?
Cause you got that shotgun shine.
Shaking my body, [F] boner of bad sign.
Blue moon in your eyes, [Fm] sing it now.
Woke [F] up this mornin',
got blue moon in your eyes.
Shaking my body, god damn, god damn shaking [Fm] my body.
Woke up this mornin',
got blue moon in your eyes. _
_ [F] Blue moon in your eyes, oh yeah, _ _ _ _ oh yeah,
_ _ blue moon, _
[Fm] blue moon, oh yeah, _ _ oh _
_ _ _ _ [F] yeah. _ _
_ _ _ _ When you woke up this mornin', everything was gone by.
Half-mast in your head, was going deep down.
Ringing like a bell from your head down to your toes.
Like some voice trying to tell you there's something you should know.
Last night you were flying, but today you're so [Bb] low.
And at times like these, makes you [F] wonder if you've never known.
Meaning of things as they appear to the others.
[Bb] Wise husbands, mothers, fathers, sisters, [Fm] grandfathers.
Don't you wish you'd every fortune.
Don't you wish you'd ever think beyond.
Next paycheck and the next little [Ab] day for you [F] too.
So pick up your mind to go on.
Cause when you woke up this mornin', everything you [Fm] had was gone.
Woke up this mornin',
when you [Bb] woke up this [Fm] mornin'.
Woke up this mornin',
[Bb] you woke up this [Fm] mornin'.
Woke up this mornin'.
You wanna [Bb] be, you wanna [Cm] be the [Fm] chosen one.
Yeah, you know that.
[Bb] But you can't help yourself [Fm] yet.
Woke up this mornin',
when you [Bb] woke up this [Fm] mornin'.
Woke up this mornin',
[Bb] woke up this _ [Fm] mornin'.
Woke up this mornin',
[Bb] [Fm] you got yourself a gun.
[F] You got yourself a gun.
You got yourself a gun. _
