The Sunrise ( partial Capo on 2nd for drop E)

DG
When the sun comes up and Im rushing around,
D A
I sigh and breathe in a new day.
DG
When that train comes and stops at the end of my life,
DAD
Ill hop on board, wave and Ill say,

Chorus
GD
The sunrise has warmed the hope in me.
F#G
My tempers been cooled by the moon.
DABmG
The rushing stream has carried off all my cares,
DAD
And the coyotes have sung my tune.

When your eyes first open, Honey, in the morning,
My hands look for refuge and warmth.
Its my heart full of love and thanksgiving
For the way your smile heals where Im torn.

Chorus

When the time bell rings and my workday starts,
My mind is overrun with doubt.
But the generous hug from a fatherless child
Reminds me what its all about.

Chorus
Harp solo
