                     G                    A7           - C                                   G

1. It was an early morning yesterday,      I was up before the dawn,

               G                   A7                   - C                                   G

    and I really have enjoyed my stay,       but I must be moving on.

                 F                                           Em

    Like a king without a castle, like a queen without a throne,

                C                                        Am                          - G

    I'm an early morning lover, and I must be moving on.

 

            G                    A7              - C                                G

2. Now I believe in what you say        is the undisputed truth.

              G                            A7                 - C                                G

    but I have to have things my own way,       to keep me in my youth.

                  F                                            Em

    Like a ship without an anchor, like a slave without a chain,

                     C

    just the thought of those sweet ladies,

                     Am

    sends a shiver through my veins.

            G                                F

    And  I will go on shining, shining like brand new,

           C                                       Am                   D

    I'll never look behind me, my troubles will be few.

    Goodbye stranger,        it's been nice,

C                                - Am          D

    hope you find your          paradise.

G                              - F

    Tried to see your       point of view,

C                                      - Am                  D

    hope your dreams will          all come true !

G                          - F

    Goodbye Mary,      goodbye Jane,

C                      - Am               D

    will we ever           meet again ?

G                            - F

    Feel no sorrow,        feel no shame,

C                            - Am                D

    come tomorrow,          feel no pain.

                             G                      F

    Now sweet devotion is not for me,

                            C                       Am   - D

    just give me motion to set me free.

                                    G                 F

    In the land and the ocean far away,

                               C                  Am   - D

    it's the life I've chosen, every day.

                             G                   B7

    So, goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane,

    will we ever meet again ?

 

              G                           A7                   - C                                       G

3. Now some they do and some they don't,    and some you just can't tell,

             G                            A7                     - C                                    G

    and some they will and some they won't,       for some it's just as well.

                    F                                            Em

    You can laugh at my behaviour, that'll never bother me,

                   C                               Am

    say the devil is my saviour, but I don't pay no heed.

            G                                F

    And  I will go on shining, shining like brand new.

           C                                      Am                    D

    I'll never look behind me, my troubles will be few.
