E       C#m
I.O.I.O.

E                                 C#m
You know I love getting up in the morning
               E               C#m
When the sun first strikes the trees 
           A                G#m
All the morning birds that sing above
F#m                   B7 
Still bring back memories
 C#m                     E
Of a girl who stood beside me
 C#m                        E 
When the rights I did were wrong
            A              G#m 
But she went back down the river
               F#m              B7 
Just when I thought I could be strong
           F#m             E 
When I thought I could be strong, so I sing 

E      C#m
I.O.I.O. 

E                         C#m
She never told me why she left me
            E          C#m 
But the letter said goodbye 
          A                 G#m
Now my mornings are for wond'ring
        F#m                B7 
And my nights to reason why
         C#m               E 
Why a stranger comes to steal the love
        C#m          E
Of a girl I had to hold 
        A                  G#m
But she went back down the river
                 F#m              B7 
Just when I thought I could be strong
             F#m         E 
When I thought I could be strong, so I sing 

I.O.I.O.
