	Getting Up Early - Tom Paxton

	   G                C                      G
Getting up early to see the mist still kissing the land
            Em                   Am            D
I watch the sun rise the way the great creator planned
        Bm                   C                   G
I walk along grass, I get my legs all covered in dew
                  D           G
Getting up early, remembering you
		  D           G
Getting up early, remembering you


Out in the meadow I see the cows beginning to graze
I watch the crow fly, I see the sun start burning the haze
These sunny mornings there's not a whole lot left to do
Getting up early, remembering you
Getting up early, remembering you


Chorus:
    D    Em                               A
How many times did we breathe the morning sun?
             Em                          A
And send the stars off to bedtime one by one
          G  D   Em             C       Am
We'd sing Mister Tambourine man then
               A             D
Fall into each other's arms again


Getting up early these days I just can't stay in bed
I make the coffee, an old song runs around my head
Out on the backwoods I've got a long day to get through
Getting up early, remembering you
Getting up early, remembering you


Repeat chorus and last verse.
