Mel Tillis - The morning after baby let me down

The a^Glarm clock woke my sleepin' but I lay there for a minute With a mi^Cllion cobwebs clingin' to my b^Grain

Then I se^Attled back and closed my eyes a^Dgain I re^Gached out for my baby for some early morning loving Then the te^Crrible truth came staggering through my h^Gead There was no^Cthing but the fragrance of her p^Gerfume on the pi^Cllow Baby w^Gasn't there be^Dside me in the ^Gbed

^GIt's the mornin' after b^Caby let me d^Gown It's the daybreak and a heartbreak that I fo^Dund Only si^Glence to torment me, no s^Coft hands to touch me gently It's the mo^Grnin' after b^Daby let me d^Gown^D

There was n^Gothing to hold on to except the sheets that fell around me And I st^Carted into tremblin' like a l^Geaf

^GIt's the mornin' after b^Caby let me d^Gown It's the daybreak and a heartbreak that I fo^Dund Only si^Glence to torment me, no s^Coft hands to touch me gently It's the mo^Grnin' after b^Daby let me d^Gown
