Chords with lyrics

Intro:
B7B7 E MajorE B7B7 E MajorE

Verse:
B7B7             E MajorE
  Morningside,    the old man died,
   B7B7         E MajorE
and no one cried, they simply turned away.
   A augmentedA                   E MajorE
And when he died, he left a table made of nails and pride,
                  B7B7          E MajorE
and with his hands he carved these words inside; "For my children."

Verse:
 B7B7             E MajorE
   Morning light,     morning bright,
   B7B7          E MajorE
I spent the night with dreams that make you weep.
  A augmentedA                       E MajorE
Morning time, wash away the sadness from these eyes of mine,
               B7B7            E MajorE
for I recall the words the old man signed; "For my children."

Chorus:
(spoken)
A augmentedA
And the legs were shaped with his hands,
E MajorE
and the top made of oaken wood,
B7B7
and the children that sat around this great table
               E MajorE
touched with their laughter, ah, and that was good.

Verse:
B7B7            E MajorE
  Morningside,     an old man died,
    B7B7        E MajorE
and no one cried, he surely died alone.
     A augmentedA                     E MajorE
And truth is sad, for not a child would claim the gift he had,
                B7B7         E MajorE
the words he carved became his epitaph; "For my children."
