[C#] This song is called Early Morning Hours.
[B]
[A]
[C] [D] [G]
In the early morning hours, when the dew is on [D] the [E] flowers, I can see the [G] day is near.
[Gm] And I can hear the church bells ringing, I can hear the birds are [D] singing, [E] yes I hear, [G] and it is real.
And the slumber of the mountains, through the good dreams flashing [B] fountains, are the thing that stops my breath and makes me [E] weep.
And the times that I spend roaming, [G] river bright and shining over and [D] over the sea.
Oh Lord, [G] we don't weep.
And here I am still smiling in the intricate asylum [E] of society.
[Em] [D] Well I [G] got to be, at the effluvium of excess it is hidden at the [Bm] behest [Em] of mentality.
[D] Of a [G] low degree.
And though it seems unstoppable, it is not yet improbable [B] that a man can have his cake and [Em] eat it too.
[Am] And the times that I spend roaming, [C] river bright [Am] and shining [D] over and over the sea.
Oh Lord, [G] we don't weep.
[F#] And I have fended off the [E] dangers, and the friends and the strangers, [A] and the forces still inside me.
[B] And you don't have to turn to guide me, [C#m] let me be.
Listen to me my friends, [B] you'll see.
[A] Listen to me my friends, you'll see.
[C#m] Listen to me,
[C#] [C#m]
[B]
listen [A] to me my friends, you'll see.
Listen [C#m] to me.
[C] [D] [G]
And when the light it comes to guide me, I will not bow down and hide [D] me, no [Em] sirree,
[D] [G] respectfully.
And it's better to be humble than pontificate and [Bm] bumble [Em] through the spree [D] of the [G] people of the tree.
And like the barflet of the legend, I am on my way to heaven.
[B] If I do not touch the ground, I'll [Em] make it [E] home.
[Am] And the times that I spend roaming, [C] river bright and shining [D] over and over the sea.
Oh Lord, we [G] don't weep.
[F#] And I have fended off the dangers, [E] and the friends and the strangers, [A] and the forces still inside me.
[B] And you don't have to turn to guide me, [C#m] let me be.
Listen to me my friends, [B] you're free.
[A] Listen to me my friends, you'll see.
[C#m] Listen to me,
