Getting Up Early — Tom Paxton
G C G
Getting up early to see the mist still kissing the land
Em Am D
I watch the sun rise the way the great creator planned
Bm C G
I walk along grass, I get my legs all covered in dew
D G
Getting up early, remembering you
D G
Getting up early, remembering you
Out in the meadow I see the cows beginning to graze
I watch the crow fly, I see the sun start burning the haze
These sunny mornings there’s not a whole lot left to do
Getting up early, remembering you
Getting up early, remembering you
Chorus:
D Em A
How many times did we breathe the morning sun?
Em A
And send the stars off to bedtime one by one
G D Em C Am
We’d sing Mister Tambourine man then
A D
Fall into each other’s arms again
Getting up early these days I just can’t stay in bed
I make the coffee, an old song runs around my head
Out on the backwoods I’ve got a long day to get through
Getting up early, remembering you
Getting up early, remembering you
Repeat chorus and last verse.
