J. P. Cormier - Another Morning
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: G Em C D (3x) G Em G C D G
Em Bm C D G
Another morning, one more day that I've been granted
Em Bm D G
Too bad the sun can't come and chase the years away
Em Bm C D G
At eighty-three the seeds of youth have all been planted
Em Bm C D G
I see the harvest in a faded memory
Em Bm C D G
Another morning, how I'd love to see my children
Em Bm D G
But they have all grown up and away to other lives
Em Bm C D G
Jim is a doctor, Bill's a pilot, they don't call often
Em Bm C
And we lost Sarah in the fire of '65
CHORUS:
Em Am
Now the days are growing longer
G D C
And I am much too old for anyone to hold
Em Am
How I wish that I were stronger
G
To make the trip back home
D
Can I make it all alone
INSTRUMENTAL: G Em C D G Em Bm C D G
Em Bm C D G
Another morning, feed the cat and watch the TV
Em Bm D G
It's days like this when I miss Katherine the most
Em Bm C D G
I lost her last May when the sickness took her from me
Em Bm C
But I still talk to her like she never left the house
CHORUS:
Em Am
Now the days are growing longer
G D C
And I am much too old for anyone to hold
Em Am
How I wish that I were stronger
G
To make the trip back home
D
Can I make it all alone
INSTRUMENTAL: G Em C D G Em Bm C D G
Em Bm C D G
Another morning, I have watched the children playing
Em Bm D G
Without a thought or care to how they spend their lives
Em Bm C D G
Someone should warn them that the years come slowly creeping
Em Bm C
And one day they will see the world through my eyes
CHORUS:
Em Am
How the days will grow much longer
G D C
And they will be too old for anyone to hold
Em Am
How they'll wish that they were stronger
G
To make the trip back home
D
But like me they'll be alone
Em Am
Yes, I wish that I were stronger
G
For I know I must go home
D
But it's hard to, all alone
OUTRO: G Em C G Em Bm C-D-G
