Morning Of My Life

C

[Verse 1]

C       C
 In the morning of my life,
  C
I ran through the hills,
        C
And the whipoorwills
           Dm7
Sang their songs just for me.
G7       Dm7
And each brand new day
      G7        C
Was a sweet melody.


[Verse 2]

C       C
 In the morning of my life,
     C
We'd swim in the creek,
        C
Playing hide and seek
         D7              D D7
Like the wind wild and free.
         Dm7
And each brand new day
      G         C
Was a sweet melody.


[Refrain]

    G       C         G        C
But now the world has grown so old
    F
The songs have been sung!
Am        Em     C        G     C
  There's no one left for me to hold,
    F                         C  D7    G  Dm7  C
But all of my memories remain so young


[Verse 3]

       C                 F
In the twilight of my life,
  C
I dream of the hills
        C
And the whipoorwills
         D7
Who once sang just for me.
       Dm7
Day is fading fast,
        Dm7
And now alas
    G7         C    G
The evening is near!


[Refrain]

G  Am
Evening is here!
F              C        G
How I long for one more song
Dm7             Gsus4
Out of the sweet
           C
Morning of my life.
