Cmaj7      A7sus2  Cmaj7        A7sus2
Drinks are done,    daylight's come,
     Bbadd#11  Cmaj7
It's   mor  -  ning.
Cmaj7         A7sus2  Cmaj7    A7sus2
Crowd's moved on, everybody's gone,
     Bbadd#11  Cmaj7
It's   mor  -  ning.

Sun's arising on the wet horizon,
Cmaj7   Em7/B    Am7
Another day is here.
    Cmaj7    A7sus2    Cmaj7     A7sus2
As I dream alone by the silent phone,
     Bbadd#11  Cmaj7
It's   mor  -  ning.


Bbmaj7    Cmaj7*  Bbmaj7    Cmaj7
Lonesome  mor  -  ning  reverie.
Dm       F6 - G/D          Cmaj7 - Em7/B - Am7 - G7
All the life's gone out of me.
Coffee's cold, paper's old, It's morning. Head's on fire, oh Lord, I'm tired, It's morning. Waiting for another day To live and die away. Try not to fret, try to forget That it's morning. Lonesome morning reverie. All the life's gone out of me. Drinks are done, daylight's come, It's morning. Morning. Morning.

(Words and music by Phil Ochs, 1963)

Notes: In earlier demo recordings of the song, Phil sang "gone are the stars, here come the cars, it's morning" instead of "coffee's cold, paper's old, it's morning".
