Am Am/G Am/F
Well I wake up in the morning
E Am
Look at my clock
Am/G Am/F
It's way past noon time
E
Now I'm late for work

(CHORUS)

F
Tell me tell me
E Am
What have I done wrong?
Am/G
Ain't nothin' go right with me
F E Am Am/G Am/F
Must be I've been smokin' too long.

[little solo on E, E7 (bend up)]

Well I go to find me some breakfast
But I ain't got no food
Take me a shower
But the water don't feel no good

(CHORUS)

I've got opium in my chimney
No other life to choose
Nightmare made of hash dreams
Got the devil in my shoes

(CHORUS)

Well when I'm smokin'
Put my worries on a shelf
Don't think about nothin'
Try not to see myself

(CHORUS)

Well in this blues I'm singin'
There's a lesson to be learnt
Don't go around smokin'
Unless you want to get burnt

Tell me tell me
What have I done wrong?
Ain't nothin' go right with me
Must be I've been smokin' too
Ain't nothin' go right with me
Must be I've been smokin' too
Ain't nothin' go right with me
Must be I've been smokin' too long.

ADDITIONAL LYRICS

(VERSE 2)
Does it now seem worth all the color of skies
To see the earth through painted eyes
To look through panes of shaded glass
See the stains of winter's grass (refrain)

(VERSE 3)
Can you now return to from where you came
Try to burn your changing name
Or with silver spoons and colored light
Will you worship moons in winter's night (refrain)

 

FROM THE MORNING 


TUNING: C G C F C F or D A D G D G

DaddG G/B DaddG G/B

DaddG G/B
A day once dawned
DaddG G/B
And it was beautiful
DaddG G/B
A day once dawned
Asus4
From the ground

Then the night she fell
And the air was beautiful
Night she fell
All around

DaddG G/B
So look see the days
DaddG G/B
The endless coloured ways
DaddG G/B
Go play the game
Asus4
That you learnt
DaddG G/B DaddG G/B
From the morning

And now we rise
We are everywhere
And now we rise
From the ground

And see she flies
She is everywhere
See she flies
All around

So look see the sights
The endless summer nights
Go play the game
That you learnt
From the morning
