Early Morning Rain - Elvis Presley

Early Morning Rain chords

Don't know who wrote it, but Peter, Paul & Mary recorded it as a folk tune. 
Elvis did it in the concert movie "Aloha from Hawaii", and it's a nice rockabilly. 
Easy and enjoyable to play, and a get up and dance tune.

(C)'Cause I'm stuck here on the (Dm)ground, (G)Cold and drunk as I might (C)be

(C)So I best be on my (Dm)way, (G)In the early mornin' (C)rain
