The Morning After Baby Let Me Down
Mel Tillis
Intro: G#-D#-G#-D#
G#
The alarm clock woke my sleepin' but I lay there for a minute
C# G#
With a million cobwebs clingin' to my brain
I stopped the bell from ringin' in the times it takes a heartbeat
Bb D#
Then I settled back and closed my eyes again
G#
I reached out for my baby for some early morning loving
C# G#
Then the terrible truth came staggering through my head
C# G# C#
There was nothing but the fragrance of her perfume on the pillow
G# D# G#
Baby wasn't there beside me in the bed
G# C# G#
It's the mornin' after baby let me down
D#
It's the daybreak and a heartbreak that I found
G# C#
Only silence to torment me, no soft hands to touch me gently
G# D# G# D#-G#-D#
It's the mornin' after baby let me down
G#
There was nothing to hold on to except the sheets that fell around me
C# G#
And I started into tremblin' like a leaf
How could that woman leave me she was more than just a lover
Bb D#
She was every bit a lady warm and sweet
G#
I can taste the salty teardrops and it's gettin' hard to swallow
C# G#
I hope a glass of bourbon can take the pain away
C# G# C#
I got no appetite for eatin' just a sick and empty feelin'
G# D# G#
What a good for nothing way to start the day
G# C# G#
It's the mornin' after baby let me down
D#
It's the daybreak and a heartbreak that I found
G# C#
Only silence to torment me, no soft hands to touch me gently
G# D# G#
It's the mornin' after baby let me down
G# C# G#
It's the mornin' after baby let me down
D#
It's the daybreak and a heartbreak that I found
