Sweet Morning Glory
(* G MO ad lib optional)
(© Rick Moody, January 26, 1992)

Verse 1:

G
Oh my sweet mornin glory
C
My ramblin vine
D7
Your my flower of redemption
G
My sweet morning wine

G
Every road that I wander
C
Each town I've been through
D7
Has no mornin glories
G
As gentle as you

Verse 2:

G
Well the times have been rough now
C
Old Tom lost the farm
D7
And Mary's still cryin
G
She just can't get warm
G
Their kids have left home now
C
For work in the town
D7
And me I'm just singin
G
This old farmer's song

Verse 3

G
Well that old wooden fence
C
(That) used to snake past the barn
D7
Its grey and its rotten
G
Its sure lost its charm

G
The bell tower near Russel
C
The fresh bales a hay
D7
Like memories they flicker
G
but soon pass away

Repeat Verse 1
