Early One Morning chords by Traditional

EARLY ONE MORNING
(Traditional)

As old as time itself.  Canadians of enough years (like me) know this music
best as the theme to the kids' TV show "The Friendly Giant".  Roger Whittaker
also did a version of the song with the lyrics.

As the quotation marks show, the song is in two (literary) voices.  All the
choruses (after each verse) are the maiden, as are the middle two verses.  But
the whole thing can be sung in male (singing) voice.

     G                       C              D
1.   Early one morning, ...
       G                                C        G
     I heard a maiden singing...

     G             C      D           G

2.   "Oh gay is the garland, ...
     I've culled from the garden...

3.   "Remember the vows, that ...
     Remember the bow'r, where ...

4.   Thus sang the poor maid, ...
     Thus, sang the poor maid...

[Repeat last line of chorus]
