I Give You the Morning

  Another of Tom Paxton's lovely songs. I like the version
 from the live Compleat albumn where he segues into this
 song from Jennifer's Rabbit.
  
 G                              C           G 
 Ever again the morning streams across your shoulder
 G                                   C         G       G/F#   
 Through the waving curtain wall the sun grows bolder
 Em                        C
 Your head's still on the pillow 
              D 
 You're still dreaming
 
 
              G                C     G 
 I think I'll wake you now and hold  you
                                C    G   G/F# 
 Tell you again the things I've told you
   Em                  C 
 Behold I give you the morning 
   D                   G 
 Behold I give you the day
 
 G                               C         G 
 Far behind the curtain wail the traffic's humming
 G                             C           G 
 Like an eager Christmas child the day is coming
 Em                        C
 You're dreaming of the good times 
              D 
 And you're smiling
 
 
              G                C     G 
 I think I'll wake you now and hold  you
                                C    G   G/F# 
 Tell you again the things I've told you
   Em                  C 
 Behold I give you the morning 
   D                   G 
 Behold I give you the day
 
 G                              C           G 
 Like some antique ball room dance your eyelids flutter
                                C    G   G/F# 
 Sunlight streams across your face from open shutters
   Em                  C 
 Now I think you're ready 
              D 
 For the journey
 
              D 
 You're still dreaming
              G                C     G 
 I think I'll wake you now and hold  you
                                C    G   G/F# 
 Tell you again the things I've told you
   Em                  C 
 Behold I give you the morning 
   D                   G 
 Behold I give you the day
