Chorus:
E
One of these cold lonesome mornings,
you're going to kill me

E
I'm going to lay there and I'm going to die
You will soon give me pain enough to fill me
Because I'm gone past doing any good to cry
         A                         E
And the warm sunshine is like a stranger
            A                       E
There's a cruel violation with the dawn
          A                      E
Lord, my pain can't stand illumination
E
And one of these cold lonesome
 B                E
mornings I'll be gone

Chorus:
E
One of these cold lonesome mornings,
dark and early

Before a wild bird sings I'm going to fly
While it's still dark and I'm still reaching for you
I'll wake up and I can't cry
But I know my heart can't stand another tremor
Now it's holding together I don't know
But just before the dawning's first glimmer
