Tuning: E A D G B E

Early Morning Rain - by Gordon Lightfoot/ cover version - Peter Paul and Mary This version is like the Gordon Lightfoot version mixed with the Peter, Paul, and Mary version. This sounds good picking or strumming. The progression in the key of D is also very sweet. Intro: C Em Dm G7 C Cadd9 C
