Biography:
Tom Paxton (born Thomas Richard Paxton on October 31, 1937) is an American singer and writer of folk music whose songs have had enduring appeal (and include modern standards such as "The Last Thing on My Mind") known for a cynical, often political edge. In 2009, he received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Paxton was born in Chicago, Illinois, the youngest child of Burton and Esther Paxton. The Paxton family moved to Bristow, Oklahoma in 1948, where Tom grew to adulthood and which he still considers home.

Getting Up Early - Tom Paxton
G C G
Getting up early to see the mist still kissing the land
Em Am D
I watch the sun rise the way the great creator planned
Bm C G
I walk along grass, I get my legs all covered in dew
D G
Getting up early, remembering you
D G
Getting up early, remembering you
Out in the meadow I see the cows beginning to graze
I watch the crow fly, I see the sun start burning the haze
These sunny mornings there's not a whole lot left to do
Getting up early, remembering you
Getting up early, remembering you
Chorus:
D Em A
How many times did we breathe the morning sun?
Em A
And send the stars off to bedtime one by one
G D Em C Am
We'd sing Mister Tambourine man then
A D
Fall into each other's arms again
Getting up early these days I just can't stay in bed
I make the coffee, an old song runs around my head
Out on the backwoods I've got a long day to get through
Getting up early, remembering you
Getting up early, remembering you
Repeat chorus and last verse.
