My first posting, so all corrections gratefully received, thanks!

This is a good one for all novice Townes fans out there (like me).

I find it easiest to use the thumb on the bass (generally) and strum the rest with first 
or second fingers.

The bass line is something like this:


   C               G   F       C   F   G       F      C   F   C   F   C

Intro:

C               G
Could it be the season's changin'

F
The winds of winter rearranging

C                   F                 G
All the leaves like fallin' queens of sorrow

F
Could be the freezing rain a-fallin'

C            F
Could be sad September callin'

C            F                 C    F
Or maybe its knowin' she'll be gone

     C        F
Come tomorrow

C


Well, it's strange how many tortured mornings
Fell upon us with no warning
Lookin' for a smile to beg and borrow
It's over now, there is no returning
A thousand bridges sadly burning
And light the way I have to walk alone
Come tomorrow

I guess that no amount of lying
To myself will stop the crying
I guess I have to take things like they are
The facts are plain to see, it's only
That I ain't used to being lonely
Like I'm gonna be without you
Come tomorrow

Come tomorrow
