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 

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
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
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
