  It was an early morning yesterday.
[C#]  I[Ab] was up before the dawn[Ab].
[Ab] (1/2 bar)              [Ab]º
  And I really have     enjoyed my stay.
[C#] Bu[Ab]t I must be moving on. [Ab]

(+E Guitar +Bass +Drums)
Like a [Ab7]king[F#] without a castle.
Like a [Fm7]queen without a throne.
I'm an [C#]early morning lover.
And I  [Bbm7]must be moving on.

[Ab](EP + Light Drums)        [Ab]
[Ab] (1/2 bar)              [Ab]º
  Now I believe in       what you say,
[C#]  I[Ab]s the undisputed truth.[Ab]
[Ab] (1/2 bar)              [Ab]º
But I have to have things my own way,
[C#]  T[Ab]o keep me in my youth. [Ab]

(+E Guitar +Bass +Organ)
Like a [Ab7]ship[F#] without an anchor.
Like a [Fm7]slave without a chain.
Just th[C#]e thought of those sweet ladies,
Sends a[Bbm7] shiver through my veins.

   And [Ab]I will go on shining.
       [Ab7]Shin[F#]ing like brand new.
  I'll [C#]never look behind me.
    My [Bbm7]troubles will be few.

[C#]  Hope your dreams will[Bbm] all come [Eb7]true.

[Ab]  Goodbye Mary,        [Ab7] goo[F#]dbye Jane.
[C#]  Will we ever         [Bbm] meet a[Eb7]gain?
[Ab]  Feel no sorrow,      [Ab7] fee[F#]l no shame.

 Now sweet de[Ab]votion   is not for [Ab7]me. [F#]
              Goodbye Mary,       Goodbye Jane.
Just give me [C#]motion    to set me [Bbm]free.  [Eb7]

In the land and the [Ab]ocean           far a[Ab7]way,[F#]
                     Feel no sorrow,      feel no shame.
 It's the life I've [C#]chosen,        every [Bbm]day.     [Eb7]
                     Come tomorrow,       feel no pain.

  Now some they do and    some they don't,
[C#]  A[Ab]nd some you just can't [Ab]tell.
[Ab] (1/2 bar)              [Ab]º
  And some they will and  some they won't.
[C#]  F[Ab]or some it's just as   [Ab]well.

(+Bass +Organ)
You can [Ab7]laug[F#]h at my behaviour.
That'll [Fm7]never bother me.
Say the [C#]Devil is my saviour.
    But [Bbm7]I don't pay no heed.

   And [Ab]I will go on shining.
       [Ab7]Shin[F#]ing like brand new.
  I'll [C#]never look behind me.
    My [Bbm7]troubles will be few.
