Standard (EADGBE)

 Getting up early to see the mist still kissing the land

 I watch the sun rise the way the great creator planned

 I walk along grass, I get my legs all covered in dew

 Getting up early, remembering you

 Getting up early, remembering you

Out in the meadow I see the cows beginning to graze

I watch the crow fly, I see the sun start burning the haze

These sunny mornings there's not a whole lot left to do

Getting up early, remembering you

Getting up early, remembering you

Chorus

 How many times did we breathe the morning sun?

 And send the stars off to bedtime one by one

 We'd sing Mister Tambourine man then

 Fall into each other's arms again

Getting up early these days I just can't stay in bed

I make the coffee, an old song runs around my head

Out on the backwoods I've got a long day to get through

Getting up early, remembering you

Getting up early, remembering you

Repeat chorus and last verse.
