G
There's a quiet time in the early dawn
  D
Before the mornin' paper, before the coffee's on
           G                        G7       C
When there ain't much movin' in the world outside
Am                            D
Oh I'd love to take a mornin' ride
   G                                 Em
My baby knows it's the time we share
D
She wakes me gently, brushes back her hair
        G                  G         C
And she moves into my arms sweet and slow
Am              D7         G
I can't wait to get up and go



Gonna take my baby on a mornin' ride
                                       D
When the sun comes slippin' 'round the mountainside
         F  C        G
'Bout an hour, maybe two
      C                               D
Ain't nothin' me and her would rather do


             G
Than see the green grass glist'nin' in the mornin' dew

While the world's still damn spankin' new
     C                       G        C
Oh I know how beautiful the  day will be
         Em              D7        G
When she takes a mornin' ride with me

         A
And when we get back, it will feel so right
   E7
To just lay back and linger in the mornin' light
            A                                 D
Then she'll smile at me, thinkin' where we've been
             E7        A
Wantin' me to take her again


A
I'm gonna take my baby on a mornin' ride

When the sun comes slippin' 'round the mountainside
       G  D        A
For an hour, maybe two
      G              D                E
Ain't nothin' me and her would rather do
