[Db] To [Ab] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Db] say [Ebm] good morning and really [Ab] mean it _
[Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ [Bbm] _ [Db] To feel [Eb] these changes [Ebm] _ [Ab] happening in [Dbm] me
[E] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Bbm] _ But not [A] to notice till I [Ab] feel _ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] it
Young girls are coming to [Ab] the _ canyon
