There's no....
[Verse 1]
C F C
There's no stronger wind than the one that blows down a lonesome railroad line
D7 G G7
No prettier sight than lookin' back at a town you left behind
C F C
But there's nothin' that's as real as the love that's in my mind.
[Chorus]
G F
Close Your Eyes I'll Be Here In The Mornin'
G F Am G G7
Close your eyes I'll be here for awhile.
[Verse 2]
C F C
There's lots of things along the road I'd surely like to see
D7 G G7
I'd like to lean into the wind and tell myself I'm free
C F C
But your softest whispers louder than the highway's call to me
[Chorus]
G F
Close Your Eyes I'll Be Here In The Mornin'
G F Am G G7
Close your eyes I'll be here for awhile.
[Verse 3]
C F C
All the mountains and the rivers and the valleys can't compare
D7 G G7
To your bluely dancin' eyes and yellow shinin' hair
C F C
I could never hit the open road and leave you lyin' there
[Chorus]
G F
Close Your Eyes I'll Be Here In The Mornin'
G F Am G G7
Close your eyes I'll be here for awhile.
[Verse 4]
C F C
Aw lay your head back easy love and close your cryin' eyes
D7 G G7
I'll be layin' here beside you when the sun comes on the rise
C F C
And I'll stay as long as the cuckoo wails and the lonesome Blue Jay cries.
[Chorus]
G F
Close Your Eyes I'll Be Here In The Mornin'
G F Am
Close your eyes I'll be here for awhile
G F
Close Your Eyes I'll Be Here In The Mornin'
G F Am
Close your eyes I'll be here for awhile
