VERSE 1:
Ab (1/2 bar)              Abº
  It was an early morning yesterday.
Db/Ab                     Ab
  I was up before the dawn.
Ab (1/2 bar)              Abº
  And I really have     enjoyed my stay.
Db/Ab                     Ab
 But I must be moving on.

BRIDGE 1:
(+E Guitar +Bass +Drums)
       Ab7/Gb
Like a king without a castle.

Like a queen without a throne.

I'm an early morning lover.
       Bbm7
And I  must be moving on.

Ab (1/2 bar)              Abº
  Now I believe in       what you say,
Db/Ab                     Ab
  Is the undisputed truth.
Ab (1/2 bar)              Abº
But I have to have things my own way,
Db/Ab                     Ab
  To keep me in my youth.

Like a ship without an anchor.

Like a slave without a chain.
       Db
Just the thought of those sweet ladies,
       Bbm7
Sends a shiver through my veins.

       Ab
   And I will go on shining.
       Ab7/Gb
       Shining like brand new.

  I'll never look behind me.

    My troubles will be few.
