A New Day Yesterday

By Ian Anderson
From: Stand Up

From the album with the cool woodcut
 art work. This is an older Tull 
tune with
the band still showing some ties to 
its "blue" roots. It is based around
 a nice
little hypnotic riff ably worked 
over by Martin "Lancelot" Barre.

Tuning: Standard

Em                 G
My first and last time with you
Continúa después del anuncio
Em              G
And we had some fun
Em                        G
Went walkin' through the trees 
(yeah)
Em                    G
and then I kissed you once
A                 Em
Oh,      I want to see you soon
C            Em
But I wonder how
         G         A
It was a new day yesterday
            C7        Em  (repeat 
main riff)
but it's an old day now

Em                 G
Spent a long time lookin'
Em               G
for a game to play
Em                   G
My luck should be so bad
Em                G
to turn out this way
A            Em
I         had to leave today
C                      Em
just when I thought I found you
         G        A
It was a new day yesterday
            C7       Em  (to main 
riff)
but it's an old day now

A lead is played over the main riff 
and walkdown motif then the band 
returns to
the chorus. They really slow down 
the "old day now" at the end and 
wring it out
for all it's worth. The live version
 on "Bursting Out" is a more up 
tempo version
and Martin really shows his chops on
 that one. Hope you all have fun 
with this one!
