The classic opener to Abandoned Luncheonette.
Both Hall and Oates are playing acoustic guitars. This is my approximation
of how to play it on one guitar.
First, there's a fill that is played occasionally between verses (and in the
intro). Here's how I play it:
e|------7-------5-------3---3----|
B|------8-------7-------5---0----|
G|------7-------7-------5---0----|
D|--------------------------0----|
A|--------------------------2----|
E|--------------------------3----|

[D]
I've got nowhere to go, I can go anywhere
[C] [G]
and it'll be all right, when the Morning Comes
[Am7] [Bm7]
Just in passing, I'm not asking that you be anyone but you
[Am7]
When you come home try to come home alone
[C] [D]
it's so much better with two
[G]
Now I'm out in the cold and I'm getting old
[D]
standing here waiting on you
[C] [G]
but it'll be all right when the Morning Comes
[G] [D] [C] [G]
