The Jayhawks - All the Right Reasons

All the Right Reasons - The Jayhawks

As I lay upon my bed, I begin dreaming
Of how it's gonna be the day that I am free
Once I settle like the dust upon the table
But then you came along
You helped me write this song

I don't know what day it is,
I can't recall the seasons
And I don't remember how we got this far
All I know is I'm loving you for all the right reasons
In my sky you'll always be my morning star

Like a tired bird flying high across the ocean
I was outside looking in
You made me live again
From the mountains to the prairies little babies
Figures fill their heads
Visions bathed in red

I don't know what day it is,
I can't recall the seasons
And I don't remember how we got this far
All I know is I'm loving you for all the right reasons
In my sky you'll always be my morning star

From the train in Manchester, England
Lightning fills the sky
As I watched you wave goodbye
From the mountains to the prairie little babies
Figures fill their heads
Visions bathed in red

I don't know what day it is,
I can't recall the seasons
And I don't remember how we got this far
All I know is I'm loving you for all the right reasons
In my sky you'll always be my morning star

@rustilehay It's played capo'd on the 2nd fret. The chords are E, (technically F# but I'm ignoring the capo) - C#minor - F#minor - D - B, then the chorus is A - E - F#Minor - A - E (2x) ending on B. Good luck, it is a great song!

Makes one love his wife like the first time he ever saw her doesn't it. One of the most powerful songs ever penned. IMH and expert O :)
