Yester Tomorrow Was Today

Written by Billy Joe Shaver

	  		Verse 1: 
     Em                            
	When the autumn leaves were fallen 
                 D 
	And the winter winds were callin' 
                 Am                                  B  
	And the southbound geese were chasin' summertime 
               Em 
	I was hungry then,and slender 
            D 
	As well as i remember 
                  Am                               B 
	Fighting for a place in life i could call mine 
 
 
Bridge: 
              C/G                 G     
	Yesterday tomorrow was today,you dreamer 
               D     B            Em 
	Yesterday tomorrow was today 
 
 
Verse 2: 
     Em   
	At the age of five and ten 
                 D 
	I put a handle on the wind 
                     Am                              B  
	And learned to travel on the heels of summertime 
                Em  
	Like a souped up 50 Ford 
                  D 
	Down the road of life i roared 
               Am                          B 
	Never carin' for a thing i left behind 
 
 
Chorus: 
              C/G                  G  
	Yesterday tomorrow was so far away 
	       D                           Em  
	Yesterday i was runnin' wild and free 
              C/G                 G 
	Yesterday tomorrow was today young man 
               D     B            Em               
	Yesterday tomorrow was today 
 
 
Verse 3: 
     Em 
	From New-York to L.A. 
	        D 
	Up the San Francisco bay 
                 Am                             B  
	To the shimmerin' Paris lights and the warm Australian nights 
                Em 
	In the honky-tonks and bars 
                 D   
	And the back seats of the cars 
           Am                             B    
	I learned my lessons well and i proudly wore my scars 
 
 
Chorus bis: 
              C/G                  G  
	Yesterday tomorrow was a blinding thing 
               D                    Em 
	Yesterday tomorrow came so fast 
              C/G                 G  
	Yesterday tomorrow was today old friend 
               D     B              Em     
	Yesterday tomorrow came at last 
 
 
Verse 4: 
     Em 
	In the solitary gloom of 
                  D   
	Some old lonely hotel room 
                 Am                               B  
	While struggling for a way to right the wrong 
             Em  
	The Savior Jesus-Christ  
         D  
	Came into my life 
            Am                           B  
	The old man passed away and the young man lives today 
 
 
Chorus ter: 
              C/G                 G  
	Yesterday tomorrow and today he is the same 
               D                      Em 
	Yesterday he washed my sins away 
              C/G                 G  
	Yesterday tomorrow and today are the same 
               D     B           Em 
	Yesterday tomorrow is today
