G  
There's no stronger wind than the one that blows 
C                        G 
Down a lonesome railroad line 
G 
No prettier sight than looking back 
     A7                D 
On a town you left behind 
G 
There is nothin' that's as real 
     C                 G 
As a love that's in my mind 
D 
Close your eyes 
                    C                   
I'll be here in the morning 
D 
Close your eyes 
        C          Em   D 
I'll be here for a while 
G        
There's lots of things along the road 
C                  G 
I'd surely like to see 
G             
I'd like to lean into the wind 
    A7              D 
And tell myself I'm free 
G 
But your softest whisper's louder 
C                         G 
Than the highway calls to me 
D 
Close your eyes 
                    C                   
I'll be here in the morning 
D 
Close your eyes 
        C          Em   D 
I'll be here for a while 
 
SOLO 
 
G 
All the mountains and the rivers 
C                     G 
And the valleys can't compare 
G 
To your blue lit dancin' eyes 
A7              D 
Yellow shining hair 
G 
I could never hit the open road 
     C               G 
And leave you lying  there 
D 
Close your eyes 
                    C                   
I'll be here in the morning 
D 
Close your eyes 
        C          Em   D 
I'll be here for a while 
G 
Lay your head back easy, love, 
C                 G 
Close your cryin' eyes 
G 
I'll be layin' here beside you 
         A7               D 
When the sun comes on the rise 
G 
I'll stay as long as the cuckoo wails 
C                        G 
And the lonesome bluejay cries. 
D 
Close your eyes 
                    C                   
I'll be here in the morning 
D 
Close your eyes 
        C          Em   D 
I'll be here for a while 
 
Em D Em D over and fade out
