Morning Song

• G

Tabbed this by ear from a performance on YouTube of this song backstage at the Newport  
Folk Festival.  This is the link to the performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EwoxVZTuMM 

The song is in standard tuning, 4 
Capo on the 4th fret. 

The intro has this as the basic melody with Seth going back and forth between these  
notes and the root note of the chord above: 

 G                                        C 


verse 1: 

G                                              C 
Hurts so bad, you don't come around here anymore. 
G 
Worse than that, nothing's really helping 
           C                       G 
I've been thinking 'bout drinking again. 

G 
It's alright if you finally stop caring, 
                                    C 
Just don't go and tell someone that does. 
   Am                C 
Cause even though I know there's hope 
   Am             G 
In every morning song, 
   Am                 C  D    G 
I have to find that melody alone. 


verse 2 (same pattern as verse 1): 


Her name became the flame unto the fire. 

A magpie on a wire, warned of those. 

Dead unto the high, shamelessly alive unto the low. 


It's alright if you finally stop caring, 

Just don't go and tell someone that does. 

Cause even though I know there's hope 

In every morning song, 

I have to find that melody alone. 


Bridge: 

 Am                F 
We can go ahead if no one notices. 
 C                        G 
What's the point of it I have to ask? 
 Am                         F 
Or how you learn to see the hope eternally 
 C                            G 
When you're sure to be, oh...even less. 

verse 3: 

C                                            F 
Hurts so bad., more than I expected that it would. 
C 
Worse than that, it seems to be here lasting 
        F                       C 
Just a little longer than it should. 

G 
It's alright if you finally stop caring, 
                                     C 
Just don't go and tell someone that does. 
 Am                   C 
Cause even though I know there's hope 
 Am                G 
In every morning song, 
 Am                  C  D    G 
I have to find that melody alone. 

 Am                  C  D    G 
I have to find that melody alone. 
 Am                  C  D    G 
I have to find that melody alone. 
 Am                  C  D    G 
I have to find that melody alone. 
 Am                  C       G 
I have to sing that melody alone. 


OUTRO: Scott plays around with the melody a bit on the banjo with these chords in the background. 

G - C - D - G 


That's the entire song! Enjoy!
