Early in the Morning
Noel Paul Stookey, 1962· Songs Well-Known in America · p.90
(no chord) GCG GCG
Well, early in the mornin’ ‘bout the break of day
When the new day is a-dawning, bow my head in prayer,
When the judgement comes, to find the world in shame,
G Bm Am – D7
I asked the Lord help me find the way,
I pray to the Lord won’t you lead me there?
When the trumpet blows, won’t you call my name?
GCG GCG
Help me find the way to the Promised Land.
Won’t you guide me safely to the golden stair,
When the thunder rolls, and the heavens rain,
Em A7
This lonely body needs a helping hand,
Won’t you let this body your burden share?
When the sun turns black, never shine a-gain,
G Em Bm D7 GCG
I asked the Lord to help me please, Find the way.
I pray to the Lord won’t you lead me please, Lead me there.
When the trumpet blows won’t you call me please? Call my name.
