The Best is Yet to Come
Clifford T Ward

Capo: Fret 4
Timing: 4/4

Recorded by Clifford T Ward as a single in 1981 and released on the album Both of 
Us in 1984. It was originally accompanied by piano but works well on guitar with a 
finger picking style.

The C chord on the first line of each verse can be enhanced by picking a high G 
(1st string 3rd fret) on the words 'do' and 'go' and again as it passes to the F 
chord. See complete chord below.

The Gsus4 chord is optional but may be played as a passing chord to lead into the 
Dm chord in the next line.

Intro: F C F C Dm7 C G7 G7

C
 What did we do wrong?
       F       C        F             C
We had all the magic to put us on our way
F              C       F        Dm7          G (Gsus4)
 And all the tragedy, that we ever want to see
                 Dm   
But you know I'm right, 
               F     G7        C    F C G    
When I say the best, is yet to come
        
C                               
 Where did we go wrong? 
       F    C             F                 C
Was it so enlightening we couldn't find our way
F          C          F             Dm7               G  (Gsus4)
 All so frightening, we couldn't see which move to make 
                 Dm
And you know I'm right
               F     G7        C      
When I say the best, is yet to come

/   F      G            
And if you leave me now,
F                 G
 Like you say you might
Em                Dm7                   
 Oh please don't leave me now
         F           Dm
'Cause I know, if you do
        Em             F    G
None of this will come true so...

C                               
 Where do we go now?
         F        C          F             C
Now your heart is aching and leading you astray
F          C          F          Dm7        G  (Gsus4)
 Me I'm burning up, trying to get you to stay
                    Dm                    
'Cause you know I'm right
               F    G7         C      
When I say the best, is yet to come
                 F   G7           C    G7 C
And you know the best is still to come
