Early-Greg Brown

D MajorD     G+G          D MajorD
Early one morning I walked out alone,
         A augmentedA         D MajorD
I looked down the street; no one was around.
         G+G         D MajorD
The sun was just comin' up over my home,
      A augmentedA            D MajorD
On Hickory Street in a little farm town. And

[Chorus:]
D MajorD    G+G            D MajorD
Oooo-ee, ain't the mornin' light pretty,
           A augmentedA          D MajorD  D7D7 G+G
When the dew is still heavy, so bright and early.
  G+G      D MajorD            A augmentedA
My home on the range; it's a one-horse town,
           D MajorD  G+G D MajorD
And it's alright with me.

D MajorD       G+G             D MajorD
Plow broke the prairie, the prairie gave plenty,
         A augmentedA               D MajorD
The little towns blossomed and soon there were many.
        G+G             D MajorD
Scattered like fireflies across the dark night,
          A augmentedA               D MajorD
And one was called Early, and they sure named it right. 'Cause

[Chorus:]
D MajorD    G+G            D MajorD
Oooo-ee, ain't the mornin' light pretty,
           A augmentedA          D MajorD  D7D7 G+G
When the dew is still heavy, so bright and early.
  G+G      D MajorD            A augmentedA
My home on the range; it's a one-horse town,
           D MajorD  G+G D MajorD
And it's alright with me.

D MajorD        G+G        D MajorD
Many dry summers parched all the fields,
          A augmentedA             D MajorD
They burnt the fine colors and cut down on the yield.
         G+G             D MajorD
But the rain has returned to wash away our tears,
            A augmentedA
It's the fullest green summer that
        A augmentedA
We've seen for years. And

[Chorus]
D MajorD    G+G            D MajorD
Oooo-ee, ain't the mornin' light pretty,
           A augmentedA          D MajorD  D7D7 G+G
When the dew is still heavy, so bright and early.
  G+G      D MajorD            A augmentedA
My home on the range; it's a one-horse town,
           D MajorD  G+G D MajorD
And it's alright with me.
