The Last Morning – Dr Hook
            D
This is the last morning that I wake up in this dirty city

                                A                    
Looking for the sunshine as the buildings block the skies

            A
This is the last morning that I wash in rusty water

                                    D
Trying to shave a face that I don't even recognise

D
Down the hallway rats are skittering, I can smell the garbage rotting

                                G
Hear the children crying in an apartment down below

            D                      A
This is the last morning, that I'm gonna have to listen to it

          D
I'm going home, yeah

            D
This is the last morning, that I try to breath the heavy air

                                     A                    
Fight the crowds, avoid the traffic, watch the world turn grey

            A
This is the last morning that I drink my coffee standing up

                                      D
Smile and speak to strangers who just turn and walk away

          D
This is a tough cold city here, and I'll guess I'll never cut it here

                                     G
And I'm so tired of trying to stand against it all alone

            D                      A
This is the last morning, that I'm gonna have to fight it

          D
I'm going home, yeah

            D
This is the last morning that I wear these greasy overalls

                                     A                    
Punch the clock and do just what I'm told to get along

             A
And face the long evening, laying close beside my radio

                            D
Imagining the kisses of the girl that sings the song

D
Down below the subway's screaming, as I lay here halfway dreaming

                                  G
Looking at the ceiling, wondering where, the dream went wrong (where, where)

            D                      A
This is the last morning, that I'm gonna have to think about it

          D
I'm going home

          D
I'm going home,   I'm going home,   I'm going home
