	        Verse 1: 
      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 

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).
