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

                                F                    
Looking for the sunshine as the buildings block the skies

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

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

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

                                F
Hear the children crying in an apartment down below

            C                      F
This is the last morning, that I'm gonna have to listen to it

          C
I'm going home, yeah

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

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

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

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

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

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

            C                      F
This is the last morning, that I'm gonna have to fight it

          C
I'm going home, yeah

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

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

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

                            C
Imagining the kisses of the girl that sings the song

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

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

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

          C
I'm going home

          C
I'm going home,   I'm going home,   I'm going home
