(B7)Morn ing side,
the (E)old man died,
and (B7)no one cried.
They (E)sim ply turned a way.
And (A)when he died,
wash he left a ta ble made of (E)nails and pride,
and with his hands he carved these (B7)words in side:
“For my (E)chil dren.”
(B7)Morn ing light,
an (E)morn ing bright,
I (B7)spent the night
with (E)dreams that make you weep.
And (A)Morn ing time,
wash a way the sad ness from these (E)eyes of
mine,
for with re call the words an (B7)old man signed:
“For my (E)chil dren.”
And the legs were shaped with his hands
and the top made of oak en
and the chil dren that sat a round this great ta ble touched it with their laugh ter.
Ah, and that was good.
(B7)Hmm.
(E)Hmm.
(B7)Hmm.
(E)Hmm.
