Tom : B
B E A B
[Verse 1]
B
I open up my door to greet the early morning sun
E A F#
Closing it behind me and away I do run
B E B E
To the meadow, where the meadow lark is singing in the tree
B A E B
In the meadow I go walking in the early morning breeze
[Verse 2]
B
I cup my hands to catch a multi-colored butterfly
E A F#
Perched upon the petals of flowers growing wild
B E B E
Freeing it, I watch it as it flies away from me
B A E B
To visit with the flowers in the early morning breeze
[Chorus]
F# E B
Rainbow colored flowers kissed with early morning sun
F# E B
The aster and the dahlia and wild geraniums
B E B
Drops of morning dew still linger on the iris leaves
B A E B
In the meadow where I'm walking in the early morning breeze
[Verse 3]
B
Misty-eyed I look about the meadow where I stray
E A F#
For it's there I find the courage to greet the coming day
B E B E
For there among the flowers, I kneel gently to my knees
B A E B
To have a word with God in the early morning breeze
[Chorus]
F# E B
A rainbow colored meadow kissed with early morning sun
