Em                        B7
Early in the morning she rises
C7           B7           Em
The woman's work is never done
G                                  D
And it's not because she doesn't try
B7                            C
She's fighting a battle with no one on her side

Em   C               G
She rises up in the morning
Em       D                   C
And she works 'til way past dusk
Em                 C      D
The woman better slow down
                          C
Or she's gonna come down hard

Early in the morning she rises
The woman's work is never done
