When The Morning Comes 
Hoyt Axton 
 
Chorus: 
 
(And) D5                               A5
 When the morning comes and you gotta get up 
G5                          D5
How you going to find your shoes 
                        A5
In an empty bed with an achin' head 
    G5                            D5
You know its got to give you the blues 
D5
I don't know what's going on here, 
       A5
I know things are not all right. 
 
If you want me to I'll go dear, 
       G5                  D5
If you want I'll stay all night. 

I came here with my broken heart, 
G5                 A5
Wrapped away with care, 
    A5
And all you do is sit and drink, 
    A5                    D5
And stare ---- at your T V. 
 
Chorus 
D5
You ask me why I came here, 
    A5
But you're the one who phoned. 

I wasn't very happy, 
      G5            D5
But I did alright alone. 

I thought you learned to love me, 
  G5               A5
I guess you never will. 
    A5
The key's lost to the kingdom , 
      A5                  D5
And I don't have time to kill.

Chorus 
D5
So it's goodbye Carolina, 
A5
So long Tennessee. 

California's callin', 
    G5                 D5
And Chicago's good to me. 

My feet are in the stirrups, 
   G5          A5
My pony wants run. 
A5
Think I'll hit the highway, 
  A5                  D5
I guess your not the one.
