[E]
Yellow is the color of my true love's hair in [A] the morning [E] when we rise.
In [A] the morning when [E] we rise.
[B] That's the time,
[E] [A] that's the time I [E] love the best.
Blue is the color of the sky in the [A] morning when [E] we rise.
In the [A] morning [E] when we rise.
[B] That's the time, that's the time, [A] that's the time, that's the time I [E] love the best.
Green is the color of the sparkling corn in [A] the morning [E] when we rise.
In [A] the morning when [E] we rise.
[B] That's the time, that's the time, [E] that's [A] the time, that's the time I [E] love the best.
Mellow is the feeling that I get [A] when I see her, [E]
when [A] I see her.

[B] That's the time, [A] that's the time, I [E] love the best.

Of [B] the time, [A] of the time, when I've [E] been low.
