Intro: Ab

             C#
Here in the hush of evenin'
               Ab
On a night in June
             C#
Overhearin' conversations
               Ab
Bayin' at the moon
            F
Suddenly a voice I'm hearin's
             F#    Eb
Sweet to my ear
           C#              Eb
This is tomorrow callin'
         Ab       C#     Ab
Wishin` you were here

Layin' in my motel bedroom
Feelin' ceilin' blues
Wall to wall a TV's twitchin'
Clearly not a muse
Then flashin' through the interference
Beams a thousand tunes
This is tomorrow callin'
      Ab        C# 
What have I to lose?

Bb  G  Eb  Ab  F Bb  G  Eb  Ab

Truckin' by the railway station
I'm on the road again
Steerin' clear of all temptation
Unto the point of pain
When steamin' thru on cue
I hear that wailin' whistle blow
If this is tomorrow callin'
Oh what a way to go

Solo: as version

Day to day you live old fashioned
Hi-toned, fancy free
A double take, an image-spittin'
Tailored to a T
While history is tellin' me
The same old thing
This is tomorrow callin'
(Eb)           Ab     C#    Bbm
Let's stick a new oar in
           C#            Eb
This is tomorrow callin'
          Ab     C# 
Y'all 'n come on in
