Bright Morning Light Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]She [F]was [C]a w[G]ait[C]ress in a
[F]West
Texas dance hall
[C]I was a cowboy with a t[G]hroat full of s[C]and
I called her honey when [F]she
brought my whiskey
And [C]later I left there hold[G]ing her [C]hand
Then we walked down the street
to a [F]tumbledown hotel
Well, [C]she had a room on
a [G]cold second [C]floor
And that room looked like hell
Just [F]a bed and a table
A [C]shade on the window
And a [G]lock on the [C]door
I [G]said to myself, she's [F]cheap
And she's easy,
[C]but[Dm] she don'[C]t look half bad.
I'll stay for the [G]night,
but I'll [C]leave when it's early.
Because [F]I've got this feeling she
[C]won't look so good in the [G]bright
morning [C]light.[F][C][G][C]
I've known some devils and
[F]I've known some angels
I [C]once had a woman on the
[G]Mexico [C]line
[G]But [C]I've never been touched
Like [F]that woman touched me, she [C]laid there beside me,
and [G]crawled in my [C]mind.[A]
An[D]d we talked, and we smoked,
and [G]made love till morning.
The [D]sun came a -screamin'
through a [A]hole in [D]the shade.
An[A]d it f[D]elt like a spotlight on
her [G]face and her body
And it [D]hung like a halo round
the [A]bed where we [D]lay
I [A]said to myself, she's [G]cheap
And she's easy,
[D]but[A] she don[D]'t look half bad
I guess I'll stay here for the [A]night
[D]But I tell you boys,
that was five [Dm]years [D]ago[G]
Lord
God, what a [G]wo man
[D]She still looks as good
In the [A]bright morning [A]light
