INTRO:
(Vintage Electric Piano – 120bpm)
               

VERSE 1:
 (1/2 bar)              º
  It was an early morning yesterday.
/                     
  I was up before the dawn.
 (1/2 bar)              º
  And I really have     enjoyed my stay.
/                     
 But I must be moving on.

BRIDGE 1:
(+E Guitar +Bass +Drums)
       /
Like a king without a castle.
       
Like a queen without a throne.
       
I'm an early morning lover.
       
And I  must be moving on.

VERSE 2:
                        
(EP + Light Drums)
 (1/2 bar)              º
  Now I believe in       what you say,
/                     
  Is the undisputed truth.
 (1/2 bar)              º
But I have to have things my own way,
/                     
  To keep me in my youth.

BRIDGE 2:
(+E Guitar +Bass +Organ)
       /
Like a ship without an anchor.
       
Like a slave without a chain.
       
Just the thought of those sweet ladies,
       
Sends a shiver through my veins.

       
   And I will go on shining.
       /
       Shining like brand new.
       
  I'll never look behind me.
       
    My troubles will be few.

                     /
  Tried to see your     point of view.
                            
  Hope your dreams will all come true.

 Now sweet devotion   is not for me.
              Goodbye Mary,       Goodbye Jane.
                                   
Just give me motion    to set me free.
              Will we ever        meet again?

                                       /
In the land and the ocean           far away,
                     Feel no sorrow,      feel no shame.
                                             
 It's the life I've chosen,        every day.

  Now some they do and    some they don't,
/                     
  And some you just can't tell.
 (1/2 bar)              º
  And some they will and  some they won't.
/                     
  For some it's just as   well.

BRIDGE 3:

        /
You can laugh at my behaviour.
        
That'll never bother me.
        
Say the Devil is my saviour.
        
    But I don't pay no heed.

       
   And I will go on shining.

       Shining like brand new.
