verse 1 
     Em 
        When the autumn leaves were fallen 
                 D 
        And the winter winds were callin' 
                 Am                                  B 
        And the southbound geese were chasin' summertime 
               Em 
        I was hungry then,and slender 
            D 
        As well as i remember 
                  Am                               B 
        Fighting for a place in life i could call mine 

Bridge

verse 2 
     Em 
        At the age of five and ten 
                 D 
        I put a handle on the wind 
                     Am                              B 
        And learned to travel on the heels of summertime 
                Em 
        Like a souped up 50 Ford 
                  D 
        Down the road of life i roared 
               Am                          B 
        Never carin' for a thing i left behind

        Yesterday tomorrow was so far away 
               D                           Em 
        Yesterday i was runnin' wild and free

verse 3 
     Em 
        From New-York to L.A. 
                D 
        Up the San Francisco bay 
                 Am                             B 
        To the shimmerin' Paris lights and the warm Australian nights 
                Em 
        In the honky-tonks and bars 
                 D 
        And the back seats of the cars 
           Am                             B 
        I learned my lessons well and i proudly wore my scars 


              C/G                  G 
        Yesterday tomorrow was a blinding thing 
               D                    Em 
        Yesterday tomorrow came so fast

verse 4 
     Em 
        In the solitary gloom of 
                  D 
        Some old lonely hotel room 
                 Am                               B 
        While struggling for a way to right the wrong 
             Em 
        The Savior Jesus-Christ 
         D 
        Came into my life 
            Am                           B 
        The old man passed away and the young man lives today

        Yesterday tomorrow and today he is the same 
               D                      Em 
        Yesterday he washed my sins away 
              C/G                 G 
        Yesterday tomorrow and today are the same 
               D     B           Em 
        Yesterday tomorrow is today
