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
