Yesterday is Here

Song Author Tom Waits Lyrics by: Tom Waits Performer: Tom Waits Submitted by: cazteclo

If you want m[Am]oney in your po[E]cket

and a [Am]top hat on your h[E]ead

a [Am]hot meal on your [Dmaj7]table and a bl[E]anket on your b[E]ed

well t[Am]oday is grey s[C]kies

to[Dmaj7]morrow is t[Am]ears

yo[F]u'll have to wait till yes[E]terday is h[Am]ere

Well I'm g[Am]oing to New York C[E]ity

and I'm le[Am]aning on a tr[E]ain

and [Am]if you want to [Dmaj7]stay behind and

wait till [E]I come back ag[E]ain

well t[Am]oday is grey s[C]kies

to[Dmaj7]morrow is t[Am]ears

yo[F]u'll have to wait till yes[E]terday is h[Am]ere

well t[Am]oday is grey s[C]kies

to[Dmaj7]morrow is t[Am]ears

yo[F]u'll have to wait till yes[E]terday is h[Am]ere

If [Am]you want to [F]go

w[Am]here the rainbows e[F]nd

you'll h[Am]ave to say go[F]odbye [Am]

all [Am]our dreams come t[F]rue

b[Am]aby up ah[F]ead

and it's [Am]out were your mem[F]ories [E7sus4]lie

well the r[Am]oad is out before [E]me

and the m[Am]oon is shining br[E]ight

what I w[Am]ant you to re[Dmaj7]member

as I dis[E]appear ton[E]ight

well t[Am]oday is grey s[C]kies

to[Dmaj7]morrow is t[Am]ears

yo[F]u'll have to wait till yes[E]terday is h[Am]ere

well t[Am]oday is grey s[C]kies

to[Dmaj7]morrow is t[Am]ears

yo[F]u'll have to wait till yes[E]terday is h[Am]ere

If you want money in your pocket
and a top hat on your head
a hot meal on your table and a blanket on your bed

well today is grey skies
tomorrow is tears
you'll have to wait till yesterday is here

Well I'm going to New York City
and I'm leaning on a train
and if you want to stay behind and
wait till I come back again

well today is grey skies
tomorrow is tears
you'll have to wait till yesterday is here

If you want to go
where the rainbows end
you'll have to say goodbye
all our dreams come true
baby up ahead
and it's out were your memories lie

well the road is out before me
and the moon is shining bright
what I want you to remember
as I disappear tonight

well today is grey skies
tomorrow is tears
you'll have to wait till yesterday is here
