There's a quiet time in the early dawn
  D7
Before the mornin' paper, before the coffee's on
           G                        G7       C
When there ain't much movin' in the world outside
Am                            D7
Oh I'd love to take a mornin' ride
   G
My baby knows it's the time we share
    D7
She wakes me gently, brushes back her hair
        G                  G7        C
And she moves into my arms sweet and slow
Am              D7         G
I can't wait to get up and go
Gonna take my baby on a mornin' ride
                                       D
When the sun comes slippin' 'round the mountainside
         C           G
'Bout an hour, maybe two
      C                               D
Ain't nothin' me and her would rather do
             G
Than see the green grass glist'nin' in the mornin' dew
While the world's still damn spankin' new
     C                      G         C
Oh I know how beautiful the  day will be
         Em              D7        G
When she takes a mornin' ride with me
         A
And when we get back, it will feel so right
   E7
To just lay back and linger in the mornin' light
            A                     A7          D
Then she'll smile at me, thinkin' where we've been
Bm            E7        A
Wantin' me to take her again
I'm gonna take my baby on a mornin' ride
                                       E
When the sun comes slippin' 'round the mountainside
       D           A
For an hour, maybe two
      D                               E
Ain't nothin' me and her would rather do
             A
Than see the green grass glist'nin' in the mornin' dew
While the world's still damn spankin' new
     D                      A         D
Oh I know how beautiful the  day will be
         F#m             E7        A
When she takes a mornin' ride with me
             B
Oh I'm gonna take my baby on a mornin' ride
                                       F#
When the sun comes slippin' 'round the mountainside
         E           B
'Bout an hour, maybe two
      E                               F#
Ain't nothin' me and her would rather do
...and fade
