When The Morning Comes 
Hoyt Axton 
 
Chorus: 
 
(And) D                               A
 When the morning comes and you gotta get up 
G                          D
How you going to find your shoes 
                        A7
In an empty bed with an achin' head 
    G                            D
You know its got to give you the blues 
D
I don't know what's going on here, 
       A
I know things are not all right. 
 
If you want me to I'll go dear, 
       G                  D
If you want I'll stay all night. 

I came here with my broken heart, 
G                 A
Wrapped away with care, 
    A7
And all you do is sit and drink, 
    A                    D
And stare ---- at your T V. 
 
Chorus 
D
You ask me why I came here, 
    A
But you're the one who phoned. 

I wasn't very happy, 
      G            D
But I did alright alone. 

I thought you learned to love me, 
  G               A
I guess you never will. 
    A7
The key's lost to the kingdom , 
      A                  D
And I don't have time to kill.

Chorus 
D
So it's goodbye Carolina, 
A
So long Tennessee. 

California's callin', 
    G                 D
And Chicago's good to me. 

My feet are in the stirrups, 
   G          A
My pony wants run. 
A7
Think I'll hit the highway, 
  A                  D
I guess your not the one.
