Intro: EG-A (2X)
E                                                        G      A
I’ve been out here praying for sunshine, all I see is pouring rain
E                                                             G   A
I’ve been out here praying for good times, and all I get is more pain
E                                                      G         A
There’s a monkey on my back… I’ve got some habits that I can’t break
E                                                             G      A          E
So I’m out here standing in the sunrise, with a case of the early morning shakes

E
Ah… ah ha…        
            G      A       E
Yeah, the Early Morning Shakes           
E           G-A    E
Ah… ah ha…

E                                                         G         A
This bus is headed to hell now, at least that’s what the old folks say
E                                                  G    A
You only get a little while to shine, be-fore you fade away
E                                       G      A
Out here on the highway… it’s more than I can take
E                                                           G      A           E
Just giving everything I got ‘til there’s nothing but the early morning shakes

E
Ah… ah ha…
G        A      E
Early Morning Shakes        
E           G-A    E
Ah… ah ha…

Bridge:
A G              E
I… wanna break away
AB…
And just be myself sometime, and get back all those things I lost along the way
                                                
To the early morning shakes

Break:
EG-A,  EG-A,  EG-A,  EG-A

E                                     G        A
Jack Daniels in her coffee, ice water in her veins
E                                                      G    A
Bleach blond hair with a rose tattoo, Maybelline and White Rain
E                                                      G     A
I took her back to the woods… listening to “When the Levee Breaks”
E                                                       G      A      E
I reached over and took her hand, then I gave her the early morning shakes

E
Ah… ah ha…
            G      A      E
Yeah, the early morning shakes        
E           G-A    E
Ah… ah ha…
         G      A      E
To the early morning shakes
E           G-A    E
Ah… ah ha…
            G      A      E
Yeah, the early morning shakes
