Bright Morning Light by David Allan Coe Guitar Chords

[Intro]
D G D A D

D                       G
She was a waitress in a west Texas dance hall.
D                     A              D
I was a cowboy with a throat full of sand.
D                          G
I called her, "Honey," when she brought my whiskey,
    D                  A           D
And later I left there holding her hand.
D                                 G
Then we walked down the street to a tumble-down hotel,
D                         A           D
Where she had a room on a cold second floor.
D                                     G
And that room looked like hell just a bed and a table,
D                           A           D
A shade on the window and a lock on the door.

A                        G
I said to myself, "She's cheap and she's easy,
        D                                      A
But she don't look half bad, I'll stay for the night.
D                              G
But I'll leave when it's early cause I've got this feeling,
D                             A              D
She won't look so good in the bright morning light."

D G D A D

D                                G
Yeah, I've known some devils and I've known some angels,
D                         A      D
I once had a woman on the Mexico line.
D                                G
But I've never been touched like that woman touched me,
D                           A             D     B
She lay there beside me and crawled in my mind.
E                               A
And we talked and we smoked and made love till mornin',
E                                  B           E
The sun came a streamin' through a hole in the shade.
E                                   A
And it fell like a spotlight on her face and her body,
E                                  B            E
And it hung like a halo 'round the bed where we lay.

B                        A
I said to myself, "She's cheap and she's easy,
        E                                              B
But she don't look half bad, I guess I'll stay for the night.
E                                                 A
But I'll tell you boys that was five years ago, an', Lord, God, what a woman!
E                              B              E
She still looks as good in the bright morning light
