[Chorus]
A
One of these cold lonesome mornings, you're gonna kill me
[Verse]
E A
I'm gonna lay there and I'm gonna die
D A
You will soon give me pain enough to fill me
E A
'Cause I'm gone past doin' any good to cry
D A
And the warm sunshine is like a stranger
E
There's a cruel violation with the dawn
A D
Lord, my pain can't stand illumination
A E A
And one of these cold lonesome mornings I'll be gone
[Chorus]
A
One of these cold lonesome mornings, dark and early
[Verse]
E A
Before a wild bird sings I'm gonna fly
D A
While it's still dark and I'm still reachin' for you
E A
I'll wake up and I can't cry
D A
But I know my heart can't stand another tremor
E
Now it's holding together I don't know
A D
But just before the dawning's first glimmer
A E A
One of these cold lonesome mornings I'm gonna go
[Chorus]
A
Yes one of these cold lonesome mornings, you're gonna kill me
[Verse]
E A
I'm gonna lay there and I'm gonna die
D A
You will soon give me pain enough to fill me
E A
'Cause I'm gone past doin' any good to cry
D A
And the warm sunshine is like a stranger
E
There's a cruel violation with the dawn
A D
Lord, my pain can't stand illumination
A E A
And one of these cold lonesome mornings I'll be gone
