[F]Sweet May [C]morning[G]
[F]Lying in [G]bed with [Am]nothing to [F]say
[F]We'll pretend all we [C]wanna[G]
Yeah, tomorrow I'll be on [Am]my way
[F]Sing me a [C]river[G]
Go [F]easy on[G] me, I'm not [Am]doing too [F]well
Do you [F]hate me, [C]honey[G]
As much as I hate [Am]myself?
[F]Heart like a [C]levee[G]

Did I carry my piece of the [Am]fire?

[F]Sing me a [C]summer[G]
Oh, that [F]Cincinnati [G]moon - like a [Am]wheel in the [F]sky
shows [F]two roads, [C]honey[G]
Tell me which one leads to [Am]mine?
[F]Sing, [C]little [G]sister
Be [F]patient with [G]me when I [Am]don't have a [F]rhyme
Will you [F]grieve me, [C]honey?[G]
Did I give you a reason to [Am]try?
Chorus
Standing in the [G]wake with the [Am]sky still changing[F]
What's it going to [G]take to [Am]keep you from taking[F] this so

Standing in the [G]wake - yes [Am]I've seen the changes[F]

[F]Heart like[C] a levee[G]
I [F]swing for the [G]mountains [Am]in [F]double-time

Did I carry my piece of the [Am]fire?
