1. Evening is the time of day I find nothing much to say,

      C7                         B7                 Em

    don't know what to do, but I come to.

 

                    Am                D                            G                    Em

    When it's early in the morning over by the window day is dawning,

                            Am                 B7                         Em   B7     E

    when I feel the air, I feel that life is very good to me, you know.

    In the sun, there’s so much yellow,

                                 G                    Em

    something in the early morning meadow

                            Am                           B7

    tells me that today you're on your way,

                                      Em                   B7

    and you'll be coming home, home to me.

2. Night time isn't clear to me, I find nothing near to me,

     C7                         B7                  Em

    don't know what to do, but I come to.

                    Am                D                           G                  Em

    When it's early in the morning, very, very early without warning,

                        Am                  B7                             Em B7E

    I can feel a newly born vibration sneaking up on me again.

                    Am                      D

    There's a song bird on my pillow,

                           G                     Em

    I can see the funny weeping willow,

                          Am                            B7

    I can see the sun, you're on your way,

                                       Em      E

    and you'll be coming home, home.
