The sky was grey with a speck of blue. A D E A Deep through a hole in the clouds, the sun was screaming' hey you. A D E A As you ramble through your sorrow, seems like everything come out wrong. A D E A I'm living in yesterday's tomorrow's, I know something's helping me along. (RIFF 2) Forgot it for now - I'll post it later A D E I'll take a melody and see what I can do about it. A D E I'll take a simple C to G and feel brand new about it. F#m Bm F#m Bm C Bm C Bm C I understand why the old mission men sail along, sail along, sail along. D E Someday he'll be gone (RIFF 1) A D E A I hear you talking' 'bout your troubles. Everybody's got their troubles too. A D E A You can make them burst like clouds, if you know just what to do. A D E A You know I've been called a dreamer. Dreams that never will come true. A D E A But I've been called so many things before. Tell you what I'm gonna do.
