VERSE 1:
Am                    Am/G#
Just you and me and a little white pup,
Am/G                         Am/F#
Sittin' here waiting for the sun to come up,
F?                   Bm11     E7
  To keep the chill away.
Am                         Am/G#
Drinkin' our coffee at the first crack of dawn,
Am/G                     Am/F#
Watchin' a doe while she nuzzles her fawn,
F?                             D7
  It's my favorite time of the day.

Am                                 Am/G#
Sometimes in the evening when it’s all kinda still,
Am/G                        Am/F#
Sweet mountain music floats over the hill,
F?                    Bm11     E7
  On a laurel-scented breeze.
Am                            Am/G#
Sometimes when nightbirds are scolding the mist,
Am/G                   Am/F#
  I think I might know where heaven is,
F?                    D7
  It's just above the trees.

Watchin' my summertimes turnin' to falls,
