1. There's a quiet time in the early dawn,
D D7
before
the mornin' paper, before the coffee's on.
G C
When there ain't
much movin' in the world outside,
C D
oh,
I'd love to take a mornin' ride.
G
2. My baby knows it's the time we share,
D D7
she
wakes me gently, brushes back her hair.
G C
And she moves into my arms,
sweet and slow,
C
D G
I can't wait to get up and go.
G
Gonna take my baby on a mornin' ride,
D
when the sun comes slippin'
'round the mountainside,
F -
C G
'bout an hou...r, maybe two.
F 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 is still damn spankin' new.
C - G
C
Oh, I know how beautiful the day will be,
Em D
G
when she takes a mornin' ride with me.

G
2. And when we get back, it will feel so right
D D7
to
just lay back and linger in the mornin' light.
G C
Then she'll smile at me, thinkin' where we've been,
C D G
wantin' me to take her again.
