MORNING MORGANTOWN- Joni Mitchell
TUNING: D G D G B D

E7 Em6 Esus2/C Eno3
When morning comes to Morgantown, the merchants roll their awnings down
Ano3 E7 Esus2/C Eno3 Esus2/C Eno3
The milktrucks make their morning rounds in morning, Morgantown
E7 Em6 Esus2/C Eno3
We’ll rise up early, with the sun, to ride the bus while everyone
Ano3 E7 Esus2/C Eno3 Esus2/C Eno3
Is yawning and the day is young in morning, Morgantown
CHORUS:
Bno3 Ano3 Eno3 Bno3 Ano3 Eno3
Morning Morgantown, buy your dreams a dollar down
Cno3 Ano3 Eno3 E7 Esus2/C Eno3 Esus2/C Eno3
Morning any town you name, morning’s just the same
We’ll find a table in the shade and sip our tea and lemonade
And watch the morning on parade in morning, Morgantown
Ladies in their rainbow fashions, colored stop and go lights flashing
We’ll wink at total strangers passing in morning, Morgantown
CHORUS
I’d like to buy you everything, a wooden bird with painted wings
A window full of colored rings in morning, Morgantown
But the only thing I have to give, to make you smile, to win you with
Are all the mornings still to live in morning, Morgantown
CHORUS
E7 Em6 Esus2/C Eno3 Esus2/C Eno3
Oooh morning’s just the same
