C5                         F5 C5
Yesterday's gone like the ocean  
F5 A5                G5
  Taken by the tide 
C5                      F5  C5
Like the night and the morning 
F5      A5            G5 
Like a bird when she flies

A5                        E5
Yesterday's gone and it's only now 
  A5                        E5
A place where today used to be 
F5                      C5          E5   E5
Lost in the space of forever and eternity  

But tomorrow the sun will be born in 
The twinkling of an eye 
Father and mother of morning
Hope of today's gone by 

The beginning of all that has happened 
Yet the ending of all that's to be 
Just a rhyme in the line of the song only time can sing 

        A5            A5        F5
Ah, but I've read the book long before 
      D5           G5    G5        A5   
I had learned how to read between the lines   
Am\G5 F5                     C5                       E5  E5       
I    saw only what I could see through my eyes not my mind 
                    A5 
God it takes a long time
