[INTRO:] Dm7 G7 C Dm7 C [VERSE 1:]
                     Dm7
Early in the morning when the dew is on 

                        G7               C
Each and every rosebud, you will find me gone 

                                    Dm7
So knock me down and pick me up and knock me down again 

                                     G7              C
Break my heart and steal my gold and slander my good name
[VERSE 2:]
                   Dm7
Seven lonely hours on a morning train 

                           G7               C
Take me to a place where I won't come back again 

                       Dm7
Seven lonely Pullmans, speeding down the line 

                       G7          C
Taking me away from an old love of mine
[INSTRUMENTAL:] C Dm7 G7 C Dm7 G7 C [VERSE 3:]
                                  Dm7
Sixteen miles to seven lakes, way up among the pines 

                                G7             C
In some hidden valley where the twirling river twines 

                                    Dm7
Where the fish swim up and down and sparkling waters fall

                                G7          C
Where the thunder rolls and the lonely puma calls
[VERSE 4:]
                                Dm7
Somewhere on the mountain, I'll take another name 

                            G7             C
Rid my mind of memories and start my life again 

                                 Dm7
Somewhere in the wilderness I'll build a cabin small 

                          G7            C
Then forget, so I won't remember you at all
[OUTRO:] C Dm7 G7 C Dm7 C
