Verse 1

D G

People smile and tell me I’m the lucky one

D

And we’ve just begun

G A

Think I’m gonna have a son

D G

He will be like she and me, as free as a dove

D

Conceived in love

G A

Sun is gonna shine a-bove

Chorus

G A

And even though we ain’t got money

D

I’m so in love with you, honey

And everything will bring a chain of love

And in the morning, when I rise

G A

You bring a tear of joy to my eyes

D A

And tell me everything is gonna be alright

Verse 2

D G

Seems as though a month ago I was Bazooka Joe

D

And known as the kid

G A

But now I’m playing on the other side of the hill

D G

And I’m thinking ’bout a bill

D G

And loving you with all my will

A

And hoping that you might

Chorus

G A

And even though we ain’t got money

D

I’m so in love with you, honey

You bring a tear of joy to my eyes

D A

And tell me everything is gonna be alright

Strong and kind

And the little one is on the line

And everything will bring a chain of love

D

And in the morning, when I rise

G A

You bring a tear of joy to my eyes
