      This version follows Sandy Denny's demo recording with voice and piano.
It's on the expanded versions of the Rendezvouz album, and on some other collections.
The official, orchestrated version on Rendezvous is different only in minor details:
A slightly different timing in the phrase "I won't linger..." and a different outro.
Most people hold the demo superior to the orchestrated version.

[Verse 1]
C                 G/B             Am   Em
  Here comes the morning how it plea - ses
F             C                  G
  It always brings me something new
     F                 Em            F             C
Its golden light will wash away the dust of yesterday
       F         C         G   C
If I try it may let me forget you

C F C F

[Verse 2]
C                 G/B            Am   Em
  And when these winter days are ov - er
   F             C            G
I mean to set myself upon my feet
F            Em            F             C
I see me as something that I have never been
      F                   C                 G        C
I'll pick up the pieces that will make the girl complete

[Verse 3]
          C             G/B          Am   Em
I'll be smiling all the time at everybo - dy
     F                  C                 G
My friends will tell me I'm just not the same
F              Em   F         C
I won't linger over any tragedies that were
F           C           G           C  F  C F     C
I won't be singing any more sad refra - a - ains
