Ralph McTell – Walk Into The Morning (Guitar)

C              Dm           F               C
No money in my pocket but a cigarette in my mouth

C             Am          D7                   G7
No fixed destination cept some vague direction south

F             G          C         Em   Am
Bedroll on my shoulder a guitar for company

C                   G            F                C
Some Woody Guthrie songs and the road in front of me

C                     Dm               F                  C
Didn't need to hear a freight train to know Sonny Terry's harp

C                    Am      D7               G7
Was an aching cry for freedom whistling in my dark

F                G          C      Em    Am
A simple leap of faith that reason can't erode

C                   G             F              C
Grabbed my coat and my guitar and headed for the road

C                  Dm        F              C
At night my coat a pillow, I lay memorising stars

C                 Am        D7            G7
Like some deserted lover my arm around my guitar

F            G       C      Em       Am
Promises get broken, reason searches rhyme

C                  G               F               C
Conscience held to ransom, hostage to the road and time

C                 Dm                  F          C
Below the lies of heaven a frightened world must spin

C                  Am                       D7               G7
Discerning between things you're taught and what you learned within

F                  G      C      Em           Am
The evening sky is fading to the colour of my jeans

C                   G             F                    C
I'm writing with my finger in the dust that falls from dreams

C                  Dm       F              C
Beyond the endless night, I glimpsed infinity

C                 Am             D7               G7
I shivered at the joke until the rain soaked into me

F                  G             C          Em   Am
And woke me at the roadside just as the day was dawning

C                 G               F               C
Grabbed my guitar and my coat and walked into the morning

C                 G               F               C
Grabbed my guitar and my coat and walked into the morning
