Jim Henry - The Waking Hour
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
C G D
I wake to the radio morning news
C G
Just as the day is dawning
C G D
And I watch from the window while a passing cloud
C G
Dulls the hopeful morning
D C G
And I wonder will the girl I love
C G D
Come back with the morning
G C G D
But the omen crow at the waking hour
C G
Has given me fair warning
[Chorus]
D C
And the heart that's breaking
G Gsus4 G
Never makes a sound
[Verse 2]
G C G D
She was once my heart's delight
C G
My need and my desire
C G D
She was my day, she was my night
C G
My water and my fire
D C G
And I was once the same to her
C G D
When we still walked together
G C G D
But the heavy heart at the waking hour
C G
Is expecting heavy weather
[Chorus]
D C
And the heart that's breaking
G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
Never makes a sound
D C
And the heart that's breaking
G Gsus4 G
Never makes a sound
[Instrumental]
G C G D C G C G D C G
[Verse 3]
G C G D
I know love, I've seen love's face
C G
I understand its sorrow
C G D
For every love I've ever had
C G
Has always met tomorrow
D C G
Though I am Wednesday's child of woe
C G D
I try not to be ungrateful
G C G D
Ah, but I was born at midnight black
C G
With a heart that can be hateful
[Chorus]
D C
And the heart that's breaking
G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
Never makes a sound
D C
And the heart that's breaking
G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
Never makes a sound
D C
And the heart that's breaking
[Outro]
