[Verse 1]

Ab (1/2 bar)              Abº
  It was an early morning yesterday.
Db/Ab                     Ab
  I was up before the dawn.
Ab (1/2 bar)              Abº
  And I really have     enjoyed my stay.
Db/Ab                     Ab
 But I must be moving on.


[Bridge 1]

(+E Guitar +Bass +Drums)
       Ab7/Gb
Like a king without a castle.
       Fm7
Like a queen without a throne.
       Db
I'm an early morning lover.
       Bbm7
And I  must be moving on.

Ab                        Ab
(EP + Light Drums)
Ab (1/2 bar)              Abº
  Now I believe in       what you say,
Db/Ab                     Ab
  Is the undisputed truth.
Ab (1/2 bar)              Abº
But I have to have things my own way,
Db/Ab                     Ab
  To keep me in my youth.


[Bridge 2]

(+E Guitar +Bass +Organ)
       Ab7/Gb
Like a ship without an anchor.
       Fm7
Like a slave without a chain.
       Db
Just the thought of those sweet ladies,
       Bbm7
Sends a shiver through my veins.

       Ab
   And I will go on shining.
       Ab7/Gb
       Shining like brand new.
       Db
  I'll never look behind me.
       Bbm7
    My troubles will be few.

Db/Ab                     Ab
  And some you just can't tell.
Ab (1/2 bar)              Abº
