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:
F              Dm

F              Dm

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
