Cmaj7   G  Am
Mornin' girl,
         Em           Fmaj7
put your dreams away
                  Cmaj7
And read your box of
         Fmaj7
Cheerios
                Cmaj7
And powder-puff that pretty nose
F                        E7
And go out and find your man
 Am                        Fm
where the wild wind blows
        Cmaj7     F
Mornin' girl
Cmaj7    F   (3x) Fade…
