intro


G C G C G C G

[C]Woke up to the [Am]rain


Set my [G]mind to mus[C]ing


To the [G]sound so soo[C]thing


While my [G]ears were sadly loo[C]sing


[G]Most of the [Am]details


~


[C]Thunder rumbles [Am]on


Off in the [G]distance down a [C]ways


After [G]flashing vein like [C]rays


As [G]nighttime leaves for the [C]day


A [G]cloud muted [Am]sunrise

Stormy [G]morning [C]


Stormy [G]morning [C] [G] [C] [D]


~


Try to shut my eyes


But my mind refuses to bend


Not going down that path again


With my dreams forgotten


At least for the moment


~


Roll on out of bed


Go through my morning routine


Replay the familiar old scene



Tee-shirt, sneakers, and jeans


Then go take the dog out


~


Stormy [G]morning [C]


Stormy [G]morning [C] [G] [C] [D]


~


And we [Am]walk for a [C]while through shimmering [G]showers


[Am]Blinking, reflecting [C]light seems like for [G]hours


[Am]Our time, me and my [C]dog strengthening powers ... [D]


~


After our short morning stroll


Our journey comes to an end


An unhurried meeting with friends


The kind you want to remember


When you start forgetting


~


Cleaning up doesn’t take long


Just a towel off and a shake


A treat for my doggy to take


After one paw and handshake


Mission accomplished


~

Re: Stormy Morning

Jeff Stormy morning might be an idea for the September CSOTM. if you suggest the word Stormy . Look forward to hearing it played and sung.     

Re: Stormy Morning

Thanks, Pete. I agree, that would be a good idea. I just loaded it up to SoundCloud if you'd like to hear it. https://soundcloud.com/jets60/stormy-morning

Grah1 suggested "Stormy Monday" which is pretty close: https://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=39105

Re: Stormy Morning

I agree with Jan and Peatle as well - Nicely done !!
