Intro: Eb   Ab Bb C 
  
     G  C 
Take my hand 
              Bb     F     Dm 
I'll show you how to fly 
  
We will cross the valley road 
                  G    C 
The river rolling by 
  
  
  
Open fields 
Bb             F       Dm 
High cascading streams 
  
We will climb the mountainside 
               G       C 
A multitude of dreams 
  

                               ~ Am 
I wake up to your morning glory 
                  Gm         C     F 
Say goodbye to my late night story 
               D7                D 
I close my eyes and count to ten 
                    G    C 
It all comes round again 
  
  
            Bb 
Miles apart 
                   F     Dm 
Still further in between 
  
Once you talked to me in tongues 
                        G     C 
Who knows what they can mean 
  

                               ~ Am 
I wake up to your morning glory 
                  Gm         C     F 
Say goodbye to my late night story 
              D7                 D 
I close my eyes and count to ten 
                    G    C 
It all comes round again 
                               ~ Am 
I wake up to your morning glory 
                  Gm         C     F 
Say goodbye to my late night story 
               D7                D 
I close my eyes and count to ten 
                    G    Am 
It all comes round again 
  
  
Bridge: 
                  G           Am 
The party ran all summer long 
             G      Am 
Way beyond extremes 
                  G 
The morning glory days were gone 
Am          D               G  C 
Suddenly, a world of broken dreams 
  
  
               Bb 
Deep blue days 
            F      Dm 
Ever darker nights 
   Bb              F           Dm 
No matter what the time of day 
                 G      C 
We never dim the lights 
  
  

                               ~ Am 
I wake up to your morning glory 
                  Gm         C     F 
Say goodbye to my late night story 
               D7                D 
I close my eyes and count to ten 
                    G     
It all comes round again
