MORNING HAS BROKEN
(Arr. Cat Stevens)

I can't remember who wrote the words to this, but the music is
Cat's as far as I know.  Note the key change part—way through.

Chords:  D7sus = xx0213,  G7sus = xx0011

Intro:  D   G   A   F#  Bm   G7   C   F   C

(N.C.)       C  Dm  G              F    C
Morning has broken, like the first morning
(C)           Em  Am  D7sus    D     G
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
C              F        C              Am   D
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
G              C    F    G7             C       F
Praise for the springing fresh from the world

G  E   Am   G   C  G7sus


Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

Am   F#   Bm   G   D   A7   D

            D   Em    A           G
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
            F#m Bm     E7       A
Born of the one light, eden saw play
D             G      D            Bm   E
Praise with elation, praise every morning
A          D G   A7         D
God's recreation of the new day
