[Verse]
        F
There's no stronger wind than the one that blows
       Bb                F
Down a lonesome railroad line
F
There's no prettier sight than looking back
     Bb               C
On a town you've left behind
        F
There's nothing that's as real
       Bb                F
As the love that's in my mind
C                                    Bb
Close your eyes, I'll be here in the morning
C                     Bb           Dm      C
Close your eyes, I'll be here for awhile

[Verse]
        F
There's lots of things a-looking back
    Bb             F
I'd surely like to see
F
I'd like to lean into the wind
    Bb              C
And tell myself I'm free
         F
But your softest whisper's louder
         Bb                F
Than the highway's call to me
C                                    Bb
Close your eyes, I'll be here in the morning
C                     Bb           Dm
Close your eyes, I'll be here for awhile

[Verse]
        F
All the mountains and the rivers
        Bb               F
And the valleys can't compare
F
To your bluely dancing eyes
    Bb             C
And yellow shining hair
        F
I could never hit the open road
    Bb              F
And leave you lying there
C                                    Bb
Close your eyes, I'll be here in the morning
C                     Bb           Dm       C
Close your eyes, I'll be here for awhile

[Verse]
    F
So lay your head back easy, love
    Bb         F
And close your crying eyes
F
I'll be laying here beside you
         Bb               C
When the sun comes on the rise
         F
And I'll stay as long as the cuckoo wails
        Bb                F
And the lonesome Blue Jay cries
C                                    Bb
Close your eyes, I'll be here in the morning
C                     Bb           Dm
Close your eyes, I'll be here for awhile
C                     Bb           Dm
Close your eyes, I'll be here for awhile
