Early Chords by Greg Brown

_ Early [C] one morning I walked out alone _
I [Bm] looked down [D] the street, _ no one was [G] around
The sun was just [C] coming up over [A] my [G] home
_ On Hickory [D] Street in [D] a little farm [G]
town
Ooh, _ _ [C] _
ain't the morning [G] light pretty
When the [D] dew is still heavy, so bright [G] and _ _ _ _ [C] early
_ My home [G] on the range is a one [D]-horse town
And it's alright with me
A _ _ _ _ _ plow [C] broke a prairie, a prairie [G] gave plenty
The little [D] towns blossomed, _ soon there [G] were many
Scattered [C] like fireflies across [G] the dark night
When one was [D] called early, and the shore named [G] it right
_ Ooh, _ [C] _
_ ain't the morning [G]
light pretty
When the dew [D] is still heavy, so [G] bright and _ _ _ _ [C] early
_ My [G] home on the range is a [D] one-horse town
And it's alright [G] with me

_ _ Many [C] dry summers parched [G] all the fields
They burnt the [D] fine colors, cut down [G] the yield
But the rain [C] has returned to wash away [G] our tears
It's the fullest green [D] summer _ _ we've seen for [G]
years
_ Ooh, _ [C] _
_ ain't the morning [G] light pretty
When the dew is [D] still heavy, so bright [G] and _ _ _ _ [C] early
_ My [A] home on [G] the range is a one [D]-horse town
And it's alright with [G]
