(Em)Early (D)in the (Em)Morning,

There's (G)silver (Em)in the (G)stubble
(D)And it (Em)wasn't (D)there be(Em)fore.

Chorus
For the (G)leaves are getting (Em)greener,
And (G)spring is (D)on the (G)wa(Em)-(G)y;
And (G)girls are (Em)getting (G)pretti(D)er
And (Em)younger (D)every (Em)day.

(Em)Silver (D)in the (Em)stubble;
(Em)Winter (D)in the (Em)wood.
(G)Fare you (Em)well, you (G)wicked (D)world,
I'm (Em)going to (D)be (Em)good.

(Em)Time to (D)think of (Em)Heaven;

But if (Em)any (D)girl is (Em)willing,

Un(Em)til a(D)nother (Em)day.
