Verse 1
Townes Van Zandt, I'll Be Here In The Morning
There's no [G]stronger wind than the one that blows down a [C]lonesome railroad
[G]line.
There's no [G]prettier sight than lookin' back on a [Am]town you've left [D]behind.
There's [G]nothing that's as real as the [C]love that's in my [G]mind.
[D]Close your eyes I'll be here in the [C]mornin',
[D]Close your eyes I'll [Am]be here for a [Em]while.
There's [G]lots of things a-lookin' back I'd [C]surely like to [G]see.
I'd like to [G]lean into the wind and [Am]tell myself I'm [D]free
But your [G]softest whispers louder than the [C]highway's call to [G]me
[D]Close your eyes I'll be here in the [C]mornin',
[D]Close your eyes I'll [Am]be here for a [Em]while.
All the [G]mountains and the rivers and the [C]valleys can't [G]compare
To your [G]bluely dancin' eyes and [Am]yellow shinin' [D]hair
I could [G]never hit the open road and [C]leave you lyin' [G]there
[D]Close your eyes I'll be here in the [C]mornin',
[D]Close your eyes I'll [Am]be here for a [Em]while.
Aw [G]lay your head back easy love and [C]close your [G]cryin' eyes
I'll be [G]layin' here beside you when the [Am]sun comes on the [D]rise
And I'll [G]stay as long as the cuckoo wails and the [Am]lonesome Blue Jay [D]cries.
[D]Close your eyes I'll be here in the [C]mornin',
[D]Close your eyes I'll [Am]be here for a [Em]while.
