Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: ANOTHER MORNING (Bill Meek)
Well now I don't often get requests for Bill Meek stuff, so here goes
The chord layout will probably suffer But I'm sure you can work it out
Another Morning- Bill Meek
D Em G A D
Six of the clock and a new day dawning
G D A
I'd lie in my warm white bed alone.
G D G D
Hear the swish of the tyres of the cycling men
A Em A7 D
And the rattle of the milk on the door-side stone - On another morning.
D Em G A D
Frost on the pane and the street-lamps yellow
G D A
Door slams loud in the winter air
G D G D
Listen to the click of the clog-irons come
A Em A7 D
Down the long street and across the square - On another morning
D Em G A D
Turn of the key and I know he's with me
G D A
Back from the night that I could not know.
G D G D
From the steaming breath and the shouting men
A Em A7 D
And the arc-lights bright on the trampled snow - On another morning
D Em G A D
And the fire leaps high with a laugh and a roaring
G D A
The tea's hot and strong and the bones soon thaw,
G D G D
And I'd creep down the stair to the warm belonging--
A Em A7 D
The joy of the old man home once more - On another morning
D Em G A D
Lie in your bed, hear the new day rising
G D A
But know in your heart that it's not the same
G D G D
As your dreams drift on to the old dead days
A7 Em A7 D
And remember the times when the clog-irons came - On another morning
