1st Verse:
            Dm
You know I love getting up in the morning
          F
When the sun first strikes the trees
          B                 Am
All the morning birds that sing above
        B           C
Still bring back memories
      Dm
Of a girl who stood beside me
           F
When the rights I did were wrong
         B                  Am
But she went back down the river
               B                 C
Just when I thought I could be strong
          B                 F
When I thought I could be strong, so I sing


Chorus:

2nd Verse:
           Dm
She never told me why she left me
          F
But the letter say goodbye
          B                Am
Now my mornings are for wond'ring
          B              C
And my nights to reason why
         Dm
Why a stranger comes to steal the love
       F
Of a girl I had to hold
         B                  Am
But she went back down the river
               B                 C
Just when I thought I could be strong
          B                 F
When I thought I could be strong, so I sing
