      Am 
 	 Up every morning at the crack of dawn 
      G   
 	 Nights as short as the days are long 
         D                                 Em   
 	 Life turned out to be another magazine 
      Am    
 	 Livin' with a stranger now 
      G 
 	 Girl i knew got away somehow 
         D                             Em   
 	 She went out with two bit gasoline 
 
 	 On the go,back - you know what i mean 
 
 	  
Chorus: 
             Am                         
 	 Now when the word was Thunderbird 
      G  
 	 And the price recorded twice 
      D                                  Em 
 	 Drinkin' wine and lovin' you was fun 
 
 
Verse 2: 
      Am 
 	 Ah,but love turned out to be a passin' thing 
      G  
 	 Different bird of a different wing 
         D                                  Em   
 	 Some damn fool put a dollar twenty nine 
 
 	 On a jug of Thunderbird wine 
             Am        
 	 And Lord i don't know if i'm gonna make it 
         G 
 	 Don't know if i'll have the strength to take it 
         D                             Em 
 	 Everything's hung up in yesterday 
 
 
Verse 3: 
      Am 
 	 There's you a secret-minded social girl 
         G 
 	 Takin' short cuts in a woman's world 
         D                                    Em    
 	 She won't let her hair down when i'm home 
          Am   
 	 Society's just slavery 
             G 
 	 And security is killing me 
         D                                     Em 
 	 I work hard for it but i give it all away 
 
 	 If i could go back to yesterday 
 
 
Chorus (x2).
