Early-Greg Brown

D (xx0232@1)       G (320003@1)                  D (xx0232@1) 
Early one morning I walked out alone,
                  A (x02220@1)                D (xx0232@1)  
I looked down the street; no one was around.
                 G (320003@1)               DThe (xx0232@1)sun was just comin' up over my home,
           A (x02220@1)                     D (xx0232@1) 
On Hickory Street in a little farm town. And

[Chorus:]
D (xx0232@1)      G (320003@1)                     DOooo-ee, (xx0232@1)ain't the mornin' light pretty,
                      A (x02220@1)                  D (xx0232@1) D7 (xx0212@1)G (320003@1)        
When the dew is still heavy, so bright and early.
   G (320003@1)         D (xx0232@1)                     A (x02220@1)My home on the range; it's a one-horse town,
                      D (xx0232@1)  G (320003@1)D (xx0232@1)
And it's alright with me.

D (xx0232@1)            G (320003@1)                       D (xx0232@1)Plow broke the prairie, the prairie gave plenty,
                 A (x02220@1)                           D (xx0232@1) 
The little towns blossomed and soon there were many.
               G (320003@1)                       D (xx0232@1)
Scattered like fireflies across the dark night,
                   A (x02220@1)                           D (xx0232@1)                
And one was called Early, and they sure named it right. 'Cause

[Chorus:]
D (xx0232@1)      G (320003@1)                     DOooo-ee, (xx0232@1)ain't the mornin' light pretty,
                      A (x02220@1)                  D (xx0232@1) D7 (xx0212@1)G (320003@1)        
When the dew is still heavy, so bright and early.
   G (320003@1)         D (xx0232@1)                     A (x02220@1)My home on the range; it's a one-horse town,
                      D (xx0232@1)  G (320003@1)D (xx0232@1)
And it's alright with me.

D (xx0232@1)              G (320003@1)             DMany (xx0232@1)dry summers parched all the fields,
                    A (x02220@1)                        D (xx0232@1)  
They burnt the fine colors and cut down on the yield.
                 G (320003@1)                       D (xx0232@1) 
But the rain has returned to wash away our tears,
                       A (x02220@1)
It's the fullest green summer that
               AWe've (x02220@1)seen for years. And

[Chorus]
