[Verse 1]
G Am Am7 Am Am7
Ah the rednecks are drawin’ their lines down in East Tennessee
D G G G G G
Their cannons are primed and they’re fit to be tied I believe
G Am Am7 Am Am7
And the man in the grey flannel suit does not walk on the street
D G C Bm7 C
Say does anyone know what became of the old Opry
G Am Am7 Am Am7
Now the cowboys have taken an axe to the old hangin’ tree
D G G G G
They’ve traded their guns for a guitar and two bags of weed
G Am Am7 Am Am7
And they’ll swear in a slow Texas drawl all the killin’ is done
D G G G
I believe them by God but I’m keepin’ my back to the sun
[Chorus]
G Am7
Tomorrow is out of sight
D G
Yesterdays dead and gone
Em Am
You never knew how right
A7 D D D D
You were the night you wrote that song
[Verse 2]
G Am Am7 Am Am7
Well the truck drivin’ man makes his stops where the coffee is free
D G D G G
El Paso this morning, tonight it will be Tennessee
G Am Am7 Am Am7
And he spends all his miles on the dials of a poppin’ C-B
D G G G
Say does anyone know what became of old Ralph Emery
[Chorus]
G Am7
Tomorrow is out of sight
D G
Yesterdays dead and gone
Em Am
You never knew how right
A7 D C Bm7 Am
You were the night you wrote that song

[Verse 3]
G Am Am7 Am Am7
Yesterday’s newspaper forecast no rain for today
D G C G G
Ah but yesterday’s news is old news – the skies are all gray
G Am Am7 Am Am7
But the East Texas hills are alive with the children in spring
D G G G
Say does anyone know what became of my sweet Angeline
[Chorus]
G Am7
Tomorrow is out of sight
D G
Yesterdays dead and gone
Em Am
You never knew how right
A7 D C Bm7
You were the night you wrote that song
[Chorus]
G Am7
Tomorrow is out of sight
D G Am
Yesterdays dead and gone
Em Am
You never knew how right
A7 D
You were the night you wrote that song
