guitar chords lyrics

Tom Waits

INTRO:
D/A D/B D Dadd9 A6 A D

D Dmaj7 D/A
I got your letter today
Dmaj7 A7/C#
and I miss you all so much here
Bm D
I can't wait to see you all
D/A A6 A7

and I'm counting the days here

G6 Dmaj7
I still believe that there's gold
D/F# G/B G
at the end of the world
D/F# G D/F#
And I'll come home to Illinois
G D/F# A6-A D
on the day after tomorrow

D Dmaj7 D/A
It is so hard and it's cold here
Dmaj7 A7/C#
and I'm tired of taking orders
Bm D
And I miss old Rockford town
D/A A6 A7
up by the Wisconsin border

G6 Dmaj7
What I miss, you won't believe
D/F# G/B G
shoveling snow and raking leaves
D/F# G D/F#
And my plane will touch down
G D/F# A6-A D
on the day after tomorrow

D Dmaj7 D/A
I close my eyes every nite
Dmaj7 A7/C#
and I dream that I can hold you
Bm D D/B D
They fill us full of lies, everyone buys
D/A A6 A7
'bout what it means to be a soldier

G6 Dmaj7
I still don't know how I'm supposed to feel
D/F# G/B G
'bout all the blood that's been spilled
D/F# G D/F#
Will god on this throne get me back home
G D/F# A6-A D
on the day after tomorrow

D Dmaj7 D/A
You can't deny, the other side
Dmaj7 A7/C#
Don't want to die anymore then we do
Bm D D/B D
What I'm trying to say is don't they pray
D/A A6 A7
to the same god that we do?

G6 Dmaj7
And tell me how does god choose
D/F# G/B G
whose prayers does he refuse?
D/F# G D/F#
Who turns the wheel Who throws the dice
G D/F# A6-A D
on the day after tomorrow

D/F# G/B G D D/F# G/B G D Dadd9 A7

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

D Dmaj7 D/A
I'm not fighting, for justice
Dmaj7 A7/C#
I am not fighting, for freedom
Bm D
I am fighting, for my life
D/A A6 A7
and another day in the world here

G6 Dmaj7
I just do what I've been told
D/F# G/B G
We're just the gravel on the road
D/F# G D/F#
And only the lucky ones come home
G D/F# A6-A D
on the day after tomorrow

D Dmaj7 D/A
And the summer, it too will fade
Dmaj7 A7/C#
and with it brings the winter's frost dear
Bm D
And I know we too are made
D/A A6 A7
of all the things that we have lost here
G6 Dmaj7
I'll be 21 today
D/F# G/B G
I been saving all my pay
D/F# G D/F#
And my plane will touch down
G D/F# A6-A D
on the day after tomorrow
D/F# G D/F#
And my plane will touch down
G D/F# A6-A D
on the day after tomorrow
