[Verse 1]
           Dm
You know I love getting up in the morning
         F
When the sun first strikes the trees
        Bb                 Am
All the morning birds that sing above
      Bb             C
Still bring back memories
     Dm
Of a girl who stood beside me
         F
When the rights I did were wrong
        Bb                 Am
But she went back down the river
            Bb                 C
Just when I thought I could be strong
       Bb                 F
When I thought I could be strong, so I sing


[Chorus]
[N.C.]
I.O. I. I. I. I. I. I. O. I. O. 
F                   Dm
I.O. I. I. I. I. I. I. O. I. O. 


[Verse 2]
          Dm
She never told me why she left me
        F
But the letter said goodbye
       Bb               Am
Now my mornings are for wond'ring
       Bb               C
And my nights to reason why
      Dm
Why a stranger comes to steal the love
     F
Of a girl I had to hold
        Bb                 Am
But she went back down the river
            Bb                 C
Just when I thought I could be strong
       Bb                 F
When I thought I could be strong, so I sing


[Chorus]

I.O. I. I. I. I. I. I. O. I. O.
