Early-Greg Brown

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

[Chorus:]
D        G                       D
Oooo-ee, ain't the mornin' light pretty,
                      A                    D   D7  G
When the dew is still heavy, so bright and early.
   G           D                       A
My home on the range; it's a one-horse town,
                      D    G  D
And it's alright with me.

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

[Chorus:]
D        G                       D
Oooo-ee, ain't the mornin' light pretty,
                      A                    D   D7  G
When the dew is still heavy, so bright and early.
   G           D                       A
My home on the range; it's a one-horse town,
                      D    G  D
And it's alright with me.

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

[Chorus]
D        G                       D
Oooo-ee, ain't the mornin' light pretty,
                      A                    D   D7  G
When the dew is still heavy, so bright and early.
   G           D                       A
My home on the range; it's a one-horse town,
                      D    G  D
And it's alright with me.
