[C] [G]
[C] Every morning when I wake, [G] dear Lord, a little [C] prayer I make
Oh [Em] please do keep [Am] thy lovely eye [D] [Dm] on all poor [G] creatures born [C] to die
And every evening [Em] at sundown, [F] I [G] ask a blessing [C] on the town
For [Em] whether we last [A] the night or no, [Am] [D] [Dm] I'm sure it's [F] always touch [G] and go
[A] We [Am] are not holy, [Em] bad nor good, [D] [Dm] who live our lives under [G] [F] milk wool
[C] And now I know we'll be [F] the first [G] to see our best side, not our worst
[C] So let us see another day, [G] bless us all this night [C] I pray
And to [G] the [Em] sun we [Am] all will bow [D] and [Dm] say goodbye
[G]
But [C] just for now
