Morning Is Broken

	  		
 

Verses are palm muted: 

verse 1 
E 
You used to be mean 
A 
You used to be cruel 
E 
But you were laughing then 
A 
And it was no accident 
E 
Where did the mean man go 
A 
Is he chasing his shadow? 
E 
Is he unhappy to report 
A 
That the gentleman he found is a terrible bore? 

E 
You know it all 
A 
You've got all the answers 
E 
But if that's the case 
            A 
What's with the long face? 

Pre Chorus 

A 
It's very easy to be brave 

With your good foot in the grave 
E 
It's very easy to be cold 
E                                           A 
When there's no one in the world you want to know 
A                        E 
It's very easy to be suave 
A 
When you're on your guard 
A 
Like you always are 

E                   A                   E 
The sun goes down and now the shadows arise 
E                   A                   E 
The morning is broken as you mourn your life 
 E                  A                    E 
You smile at your neighbors as you lock your doors 
 E                   A                    E 
You face up the mirror, mister, pimp or whore ? 


verse 2 

E 
Is it hard to let go 
A 
At the foot of the rainbow 
E 
Just to be informed 
A 
That the chase was your reward? 
E 
Here, have a crock of gold 
A 
Keep it for when you're old 
E 
Like a week on Tuesday 
A 
Hey, wise men say 

Pre Chorus 

A 
It's very easy to be brave 

With your good foot in the grave 
E 
It's very easy to be cold 
E                                           A 
When there's no one in the world you want to know 
A                        E 
It's very easy to be suave 
A 
When you're on your guard 
A 
Like you always are 

E                   A                   E 
The sun goes down and now the shadows arise 
E                   A                   E 
The morning is broken as you mourn your life 
 E                  A                    E 
You smile at your neighbors as you lock your doors 
 E                   A                    E 
You face up the mirror, mister, pimp or whore ?

Put me in the ground

E                   A                                  E

You face up the mirror, mister, pimp or whore ?
