Capo 2nd Fret  
 
 
A5                 D5  
If I had a dollar bill  
                        A5  
Yes I believe I surely will  
                        E5  
Go to town and drink my fill  
               A5  
Early in the morning  
 
 
Little darlin&#039; she&#039;s a red haired thing  
Man she makes my legs to sing  
Gonna buy her a diamond ring  
Early in the mornin&#039;  
 
 
Mother was a golden girl  
Slit her throat just to get her pearls  
Cast myself into a world  
Before a bunch of swine  
 
 
It&#039;s a long way down the Harlan road  
Busted back and a heavy load  
Won&#039;t get through to save my soul  
Early in the mornin&#039;  
 
 
I always been a gambling man  
Roll them bones with either hand  
Seven is the promised land  
Early in the mornin&#039;  
 
 
Whiskey be my dyin&#039; bed  
Tell me where to lay my head  
Not with me is all she said  
Early in the mornin&#039;  
 
 
If I had a dollar bill  
Yes I believe I surely will  
Go to town and drink my fill  
Early in the mornin&#039;
