Standard (EADGBE)

  Early in the morning and I can't get right

  Had a little date with my baby last night

  Now it's early in the morning, well, it's early in the morning

  Now it's early in the morning I ain't got nothing but the blues

(Verse 2)

  Went to Dooky Chase to get something to eat

  Waiter looked at me and said, "You sure look beat"

  Yeah, it's early in the morning, early in the morning

  Well, it's early in the morning and I ain't got nothing but the blues

(Verse 3)

  Went to her girlfriend's house but she was out

  Knock on her father's door and he began to shout

  Early in the morning, early in the morning

  Early in the morning ain't got nothing but the blues

(Verse 4)

  Went to all the places where we used to go

  Went to our house but you don't live there no more

  Now it's early in the morning, well, it's early in the morning

  Early in the morning I ain't got nothing but the blues
