tune Transposed: semitones

[Verse 1]
[Em]I fought tooth and [G]nail through the billows grey
[Em]To some deeper pit [G]of my converging self
[Em]A humid locker where [G]I pile my guilt
[Em]And where I often pluck [G]the first lines for myself
[Em]I fought tooth and nail for the right [G]I had just to be myself and she
[Em]Well she empties out [G]upon this caricature's smiling brow
[Em]But deep in the [G]morning I'm taut and rough

[Verse 2]
[Em]Here in the [G]morning I'm fine enough
[Em]Ra Ra Ra [G]etcetera I sing it
[Em]Deep in the morning I [G]lash back the curtains fold
[Em]Take in the few [G]sure truths I hold
[Em]Though sorrow came and root got choked
[G]Green thing dead [Em] know dead thing grows
[G]Though deep in the morning I'm taut and rough

[Verse 3]
[Em]Here in the [G]morning I'm fine enough
[Em]Ra Ra [G]Ra Etcetera
[Em]Muttered softly [G]coffee mantra
[Em]♪
[G]Pretty close call though I've seen closer were [Em]the words that no one said at all
[G]When the Lord went up to Lazarus' tomb for an encore [Em]to his swan song Maybe then a chatter and a conversation after
[G]With a joke and then a laughter about a curtain call

[Verse 4]
[Em]Maybe then the matter was [G]the death that came thereafter
[Em]And the point was that [G]the result hadn't changed at all
[Em]♪
[G]Deep in [Em]the morning
[G]I sift through my clearest thoughts Separate haves [Em]out from have-not's Wager out those decent shots
[G]The math [Em]is always slap-dashed
[G]Deep in the morning I'm taut and rough

[Verse 5]
[Em]Here in the [G]morning I'm well enough
[Em]Ra Ra [G]Ra Etcetera
[Em]Nothing more than a [G]tune to hang on
[Em]♪
[G]Deep in the morning I [Em]lash back them curtains fold
[G]Take in the few [Em]sure things I know
[G]Like nothing ever seems to go the way I meant And etc.

[Outro]
[Em]Deep in the morning [G]I'm taut and rough
[Em]Here in the [G]morning like Lazarus
[Em]Ra ra [G]ra etcetera
[Em]Marching on to the [G]tune of what now
