This is tomorrow    (video)

 

  G ~ ~                    C                                             G

1.       Here in the hush of evening, on a night in June,

                         C                                             G

    overhearing conversations, baying at the moon.

                         E                                                 F    - D

    Suddenly a voice I’m hearing ‘s sweet to my ear,

                    C                   - D                G            C      - G

    this is tomorrow calling,      wishing you were here.

 

                            C                                             G

2. Laying in my motel bedroom, feeling ceilin’ blues,

                          C                                            G

    wall to wall a TV’s twitching, clearly not a muse.

                                               E                                                 F       - D

    Then flashing through the interference, beams a thousand tunes,

                  C                  - D                 G     C

  this is tomorrow calling,     what have I to lose?    +  A - F# - D - G (2x)

 

                               C                                                 G

3. Trucking by the railway station, I’m on the road again,

                               C                                                G

    steering clear of all temptation, unto the point of pain.

                                                 E                                                F    - D

    When steaming through on cue, I hear that wailing whistle blow,

                       C                   - D                 G        C    - G

    if this is tomorrow calling,      oh, what way to go ?

 

+  instrumental = verse 3

 

                               C                                                   G

4. Day to day you live old fashioned, hi-toned fancy free,

                                 C                                        G

    a double take, an image spitting, tailored to a T.

                      E                                             F      - D

    While history is telling me the same old thing,

                     C                  - D                     G         C   - Am

    this is tomorrow calling,      let’s stick a new car in,

                    C                   - D    G                    C

    this is tomorrow calling,      y’all ‘n come on in.
