[Capo 3/4]

[Verse Chords: D C G Em]

[Verse 1] It’s been a long morning and it hasn’t even dawned on me That there might be something I should be doin’ differently My head’s rolling like a sailor lost at sea I don’t know, maybe I’ll make some coffee

[Verse 2] Got a lotta tech but I ain’t found better yet Than a little whiskey and just one last cigarette For killin’ time and for killin’ off regret I don’t know, maybe someday I’ll buy an old corvette

[Chorus Chords: C G D, C G D Em G, C G D, C G D]

[Chorus] Maybe I’ll try to write a song About a poor bastard and all the things that he done wrong Something us poor bastards can sing along In those long hours before the dawn

[Verse 3] Long ago I got a peak behind the scenes Just enough to make a man weak in the knees I swear there’s a forest somewhere behind all these God damned trees i don’t know, maybe I’ll get there eventually

[Chorus] Maybe I’ll try to write a song About a poor bastard and all the things that he done wrong Something us poor bastards can sing along In those long hours before the dawn

[Chorus] Maybe I’ll try to write a song About a poor bastard and all the things that he done wrong Something us poor bastards can sing along In those long hours before the dawn

[Outro] In those long hours before the dawn (4x) Maybe someone will want to sing along And that poor bastard will see another dawn
