Subject: CRD: Tomorrow Is A Long Time Chris Hillman Chords/Lyrics
Chris Hillman Tomorrow Is A Long Time written by Bob Dylan
E A E
If today was not an endless highway
A E
If tonight was not a crooked trail
A B7 E
If tomorrow wasn´t such a long time
A B7 E
Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all
E A E
I can see my reflection in the waters
E A E
I can speak the sounds that show no pain
E A B7 E
I can´t hear the echo of my footsteps
E A B7 E
And I can´t remember the sound of my own name
A B7 E
Ah but only if my own true love was waitin
A B7 E
I could hear her heart softly poundin
A B7 E A B7 E
Only if she was lyin´ by me then I´d lie in my bed once again.
SOLO
E A E
There´s beauty in the silver, singin´ river;
E A E
There´s beauty in the sunrise in the sky;
E A B7 E
But none of these, and nothing else can touch the beauty
A B7 E
That I remember in my true love´s eyes
A B7 E
Ah but only if my own true love was waitin
A B7 E
I could hear her heart softly poundin
A B7 E A B7 E
Only if she was lyin´ by me then I´d lie in my bed once again.
