VERSE 1:
F#m D
In the morning it is raining
E B
And umbrellas block the pavement
Bm G
In the café people waking
C#7sus4 C#7
With a cigarette and coffee
Amaj7 Dmaj7
And she sits there with her paper
G#m7 C#7
Half asleep into a picture
F#m D E B
In the morning
VERSE 2: (as VERSE 1)
In the morning
It's all over
That's another night of business
With the punters
On the corner
Of estates around the river
And she adds up all the takings
Hid behind her wilting paper
In the morning
MIDDLE 8:
F# D#m
In the morning soaked in bath oil
A#m G#m
Dressed in pink towels and a sweater
F# D#m
Looking out at all the people
A#m C#
Walking under their umbrellas
F# D#m
In the morning there's a feeling
A#m G#m
Of resentment and expectance
F# D
It's a fear that comes with working
A E
On the dark streets for a living
INSTRUMENTAL:
F#m / / / D / / / E / / / B / / / (4 times)
VERSE 3:
F#m D
She's attending to her wet hair
E B
At the window in the evening
Bm G
Getting ready in a short skirt
C#7sus4 C#7
With her stockings around her ankles
Amaj7 Dmaj7
It’s a flame that gets attention
Amaj7 Dmaj7
In a darkness without light
Amaj7 Dmaj7
And the children need a cuddle
G#m7 C#7
As she walks into the light
F#m D E B
Of the morning
