Morning Song For Sally
Jerry Jeff Walker
G G/F# G/E G/D C G G G
G G/F# G/E G/D C G
G G/F# G/E G/D
As the morning light stretched in across my bed
C G
I thought of you, mm mm hmm
Remembering your laughing eyes and all we have said
I love you too, mm mm hmm
Em
And as all my thoughts of you pass
C G
'Fore my face a thousand times
Em
The way you race my heart
C G G/F# G/E G/D C G
I cannot say it all... in lines
How the short time together lasts so long
Makes me strong, mm mm hmm
As two weeks came and went then you and I were gone
Living on, mm mm hmm
For it seems our love was destined
To be caught in other nets
But the love we held so brief
I'd chance again... without regret
Yes, standing by the road has been my song before
Much too long, mm mm hmm
But now somehow I'm forced to see me there once more
And that's the song, mm mm hmm
For my waking thoughts of you are
But extensions of the dream
And without you here beside me
I'll never know... all that they mean
*Solo* G G/F# G/E G/D C G (x2)
And as the morning light stretched in across my bed
I thought of you, mm mm hmm
Remembering your laughing eyes and all we said
I love you too, mm mm hmm
And as all my thoughts of you pass
'Fore my face a thousand times
The way you race my heart
I cannot see... it all in lines

Actually, I learned this off Nancy Griffith's version of the song, so there might be some small differences from Jerry Jeff. I've modified some of the chord names to assist in the translation.
