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
