MORNING HAS BROKEN

I can't remember who wrote the words to this, but the music is
Cat's as far as I know.  Note the key change part-way through.

Morning has broken, like the first morning
(C)           Em  Am  D7sus    D     G
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven

Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

Born of the one light, eden saw play
