Capo 1 (Recorded in G#)
[Intro]
G-D-G-D
G
The alarm clock woke my sleepin' but I lay there for a minute
C G
With a million cobwebs clingin' to my brain
I stopped the bell from ringin' in the times it takes a heartbeat
A D
Then I settled back and closed my eyes again
G
I reached out for my baby for some early morning loving
C G
Then the terrible truth came staggering through my head
C G C
There was nothing but the fragrance of her perfume on the pillow
G D G
Baby wasn't there beside me in the bed
G C G
It's the mornin' after baby let me down
D
It's the daybreak and a heartbreak that I found
G C
Only silence to torment me, no soft hands to touch me gently
G D G D-G-D
It's the mornin' after baby let me down
G
There was nothing to hold on to except the sheets that fell around me
C G
And I started into tremblin' like a leaf
How could that woman leave me she was more than just a lover
A D
She was every bit a lady warm and sweet
G
I can taste the salty teardrops and it's gettin' hard to swallow
C G
I hope a glass of bourbon can take the pain away
C G C
I got no appetite for eatin' just a sick and empty feelin'
G D G
What a good for nothing way to start the day
G C G
It's the mornin' after baby let me down
D
It's the daybreak and a heartbreak that I found
G C
Only silence to torment me, no soft hands to touch me gently
G D G
It's the mornin' after baby let me down
G C G
It's the mornin' after baby let me down
D
It's the daybreak and a heartbreak that I found
