When The Morning Comes 
Hoyt Axton 
 
Chorus: 
 
(And) D When the morning comes and you A gotta get up 
G How you going to find your D shoes 
In an empty bed with an A7 achin' head 
You G know its got to give you the D blues 
 
D I don't know what's going on here, 
I know A things are not all right. 
If you want me to I'll go dear, 
If you G want I'll stay all D night. 
I came here with my broken heart, 
G Wrapped away with A care, 
And A7 all you do is sit and drink, 
And {A}stare ---- at your T D V. 
 
Chorus 
 
D You ask me why I came here, 
But A you're the one who phoned. 
I wasn't very happy, 
But I G did alright a{D}lone. 
I thought you learned to love me, 
I G guess you never A will. 
The A7 key's lost to the kingdom, 
And I {A}don't have time to D kill. 
 
Chorus 
 
Instrumental: Verse 
 
Chorus 
 
D So it's goodbye Carolina, 
A So long Tennessee. 
California's callin', 
And G Chicago's good to D me. 
My feet are in the stirrups, 
My G pony wants A run. 
A7 Think I'll hit the highway, 
I {A}guess your not the D one. 
 
Chorus 2x
