Best Musicmorning Poems
IN THE EARLY MORNING RAIN
Used to sing folk songs a lot, still do.
But Lightfoot’s Early Morning Rain
Was always my best. Sung it eight
Million times, and often accompanied on
Harmonica too, just like Dylan.
Dylan and me, we loved the song.
I never was no expert on guitar:
Just eight basic chords, nothing more;
But I taught myself little extra bits
To add on to chords to enjoy it more.
First verse in D, second in C,
Then the last two in G, with lots of bass
To show the ‘mighty engines roar’.
Great song, strangled by my mediocrity,
But I loved it and still do. Dylan never
Felt threatened by me, I guess.
