[G]
The alarm clock woke my sleepin'
I lay there for a minute
[C] With a million pop whips flingin' to my [G] brain
I stopped that bell from ringin'
And about the time it takes a heartbeat
[A] Settled back and closed [D] my eyes again
Reached [G] out for my baby
For some early morning [A] lovin'
[C] Her boot-root came staggerin' [G] through my head
[C] Oh, there was nothin' to hold [G] on to
Verse what lay [C] around me
That [G] woman, she [D] wasn't beside
The [G] killer in the bed
And that's there
It's the morning [C] of the baby
[G] Let me down
Oh, she let me down
It's the daybreak and the heartbreak I [D] know
Oh, she let me down
[G] Only silence to torment me
No [C] soft hand to touch me gently
[G] It's the morning [D] after baby
Let me [G]
down
There was nothin' to hold on to
But the sheets that fell around [C] me
My God, I was tremblin' like a leaf
How could that woman leave me?
She was more than just a lover
[A] Ever been a lady [D] warm and sweet?
I [G] can taste the salty teardrops
It's gettin' hard to [C] swallow
But a glass of bourbon takes that lump [G] away
Yes, it does
[C] Ain't got an appetite for eatin'
[G] I'm sick and I got an [C] empty feeling
[D] What a good-for-nothin' way to [G] start the day
You know, it's
It's the morning
[C] Oh, she [G] let me down
Let me down
It's the daybreak and the heartbreak [D] I know
Oh, she let me down
[G] Only silence to torment me
[C] No soft hand to touch me gently
It's the morning [D] after baby
[G] Let me down
It's the morning [C] after baby
[G] Let me down
Let me down
It's the daybreak and the heartbreak [D] I know
Only [G] silence to torment me
No [C] soft hand gonna touch Jerry gently
[G] It's the morning [D] after baby
[G] Let me down
[C]
