[G]
It's the morning [D] after baby let me [C] down
[C] [G] The alarm clock woke my sleeping
But I lay there for a minute
With a million cobwebs clinging to my [G] brain
I stopped that bell from ringing
In the time it takes a heartbeat
[A] Then I settled back and closed my [D] eyes again
[G] I reached out for my baby
For some early morning loving
Then [C] the terrible truth came staggering through my head
There was nothing but the fragrance
[G] Of her perfume [C] on the pillow
Baby [G] wasn't [D] there beside me [G] in the bed
It's the morning after [C] baby [G] let me down
It's the pain break and a heartbreak [D] that I found
Only [G] silence to torment me
[C] No soft hand to touch me gently
It's the morning [D] after baby let [G] me down
There was nothing to hold on to
But the sheets that fell around me
[C] And I started in trembling [G] like a leaf
How could that woman leave me?
She was more than just a lover
[A] She was every bitter lady [D] warm and sweet
[E] [G] I can taste the salty teardrops
God it's getting hard to swallow
[C] Hope a glass of bourbon take a lump [G] away
[C] Got no appetite for eating
Just [G] a sick and empty [C] feeling
What [G] a good for nothing [D] way to [G] start the day
[C] It's [G] the morning after [C] baby [G] let me down
It's the pain break and a heartbreak [D] that I found
[Dm] Only [G] silence to torment me
No [C] soft hand to touch me gently
It's [G] the morning [D] after baby let [G] me down

It's the pain break and a heartbreak that [D] I found
