Better Than Today

A

A                         D
yesterday was better than today
Bm                 E
yesterday was when I went away
A                    D
tomorrow I will have a brand new car
Bm          C#     B               E             A
If I get a letter, tomorrow will be better than today

A                            D
Your weighted hair is hanging down your back
Bm                    F#m          E
and all the dreams you've had are coming back
A                                      D      Bm                C#
when you have your pockets filled with gold, you don't have to wake up
B                E              A
or even use your make-up when you're old

yesterday was better than today, steadily my hair was turning grey

A                  D        Bm            C#             B
I'm fifty, he is fifty-one, when we reach New Mexico the party
