Summertime Dream

D  G  A  G  D  G  D
                     A           G            D     G  D
In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand
                     G                            D    G  D
With an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand
                    G    A                        D   G  D
I'm a long way from home and I miss my loved ones so
                     A    G                D   G  D
In the early morning rain with no place to go


                     A         G                    D   G  D
Out on runway number nine, big seven-o-seven set to go
                          G                           D     G  D
But I'm stuck here in the grass with a pain that evergrows
                      G    A                      D     G  D
Now the liquor tasted good and the women all were fast
                           A       G                       D     G  D
Well now there she goes my friend, she's a-rolling down at last


                        A             G              D     G  D
Hear the mighty engines roar, see the silver wing on high
                        G                                  D    G  D
She's away and westward bound, far above the clouds she'll fly
                             G            A          D       G  D
Where the morning rain don't fall and the sun always shines
                         A       G                 D     G  D
She'll be flying over my home in about three hours time


                          A             G               D   G  D
This old airport's got me down, it's no earthly good to me
                             G                                  D   G  D
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground, as cold and drunk as I can be
                     G              A             D      G  D
You can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train
                     A          G             D     G  D
So I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain

Early Morning Rain

1st verse:
           G                    C                       G
There's a house on a hill by a worn down weathered old mill

               D
In the vally bellow where the river winds

                               G
There's no such thing as bad times

                              C                  G
And a soft southern flame oh Cotton Jenny's her name
                                                                            D
She wakes me up when the sun goes down 

                             G
and the wheel of love goes round


Chorus:     
                    C            G
Wheels of love go round love go round
           
         A               D
Love go round  a joyful sound
           
         G               C               D
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend but then
           
              G   C G
The wheels go round  


2nd verse:
        G                    C                 G
Then a new day begins I go down to the cotton gin

                D                                           
And I make my time worthwhile to them 

                      G
then I climb back up again

                              C                G
And she waits by the door oh Cotton Jenny I'm sore

                 D                                            
And she rubs my feet while the sun goes down and the wheel of 

            G
love goes round


Chorus:
                    C            G
Wheels of love go round love go round
           
         A               D
Love go round a joyful sound
           
         G               C               D
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend but then
           
              G   C G
The wheels go round  


3rd verse:
        G                          C                  G 
In the hot sickly south when they say "well shut my mouth"
                                                                               D
I can never be free from the cotton grind 

                         G
but I know I got what's mine

                               C                  G
With a soft southern flame oh Cotton Jenny's her name

             D   
She wakes me up when the sun goes down  

                            G
and the wheel of love goes round

Chorus:
                    C            G
Wheels of love go round love go round
           
         A               D
Love go round a joyful sound
           
         G               C               D
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend but then
           
              G   C G
The wheels go round  

 G          C G                C G        C G
Wheel go round      round & round   mmm mmmm

And she don't always say what she really means

Sometimes I think it's a shame
       D                           E
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain

It's a pleasure just to be Alberta bound

Chorus:

You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
F
On the first bus out of town
On the first bus out of town

Let's see your kit for games
All the girls look the same
You are challenging style for running miles
You're running miles in some boy's jumper

Boo to the business world!
You know a girl who's tax free on her back and making
Plenty cash
While you are working for the joy of giving

Chorus:
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
And you hope that she will see
And you hope that she will see

You are in two minds
Tossing a coin to decide whether you should tell your mum
About a dose of thrush you got while licking railings

But you read in a book
That you got free from Boots
There are lotions, there are potions
You can take to hide your shame from all those prying eyes

Lazy Jane, all the time
Painting lines
You sleeping at bus stops
Wondering how you got your name
And what you're going to do about it.

Chorus

You can get a big house and a faster car

You can run away boy, but you won't go far
