{st:Tom Waits}
D/A D/B D Dadd9 A6 A D
[D]I got your [Dmaj7]letter [D/A]today
and I [Dmaj7]miss you all so [A7/C#]much here
I can't [Bm]wait to see you [D]all
and I'm [D/A]counting the [A6]days [A7]here
I still be[G6]lieve that there's [Dmaj7]gold
at the [D/F#]end of the [G/B]world [G]
And I'll come [D/F#]home [G]to Illi[D/F#]nois
[G]on the [D/F#]day after [A6-A]tomorr[D]ow
[D]It is so [Dmaj7]hard and it's [D/A]cold here
and I'm [Dmaj7]tired of taking [A7/C#]orders
And I [Bm]miss old Rockford [D]town
up [D/A]by the Wisconsin [A6]bor[A7]der
What I [G6]miss, you won't be[Dmaj7]lieve
shoveling [D/F#]snow and raking [G/B]leaves [G]
And my [D/F#]plane [G]will touch [D/F#]down
[G]on the [D/F#]day after [A6-A]tomorr[D]ow
[D]I close my [Dmaj7]eyes every [D/A]nite
and I [Dmaj7]dream that I can [A7/C#]hold you
They [Bm]fill us full of [D]lies, [D/B]everyone [D]buys
'bout what it [D/A]means to be a [A6]sold[A7]ier
I still don't [G6]know how I'm supposed to [Dmaj7]feel
'bout all the [D/F#]blood that's been [G/B]spilled [G]
Will god on this [D/F#]throne get [G]me back [D/F#]home
[G]on the [D/F#]day after [A6-A]tomorr[D]ow
[D]You can't [Dmaj7]deny, the other [D/A]side
Don't want to [Dmaj7]die anymore then [A7/C#]we do
What I'm [Bm]trying to [D]say is [D/B]don't they [D]pray
to the [D/A]same god that [A6]we [A7]do?
And tell me [G6]how does god [Dmaj7]choose
whose [D/F#]prayers does he [G/B]refuse? [G]
Who turns the [D/F#]wheel Who [G]throws the [D/F#]dice
[G]on the [D/F#]day after [A6-A]tomorr[D]ow
[D/F#][G/B][G][D][D/F#][G/B][G][D][Dadd9][A7]
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....
[D]I'm not [Dmaj7]fighting, for [D/A]justice
I am not [Dmaj7]fighting, for [A7/C#]freedom
I am [Bm]fighting, for my [D]life
and another [D/A]day in the [A6]world [A7]here
I just [G6]do what I've been [Dmaj7]told
We're just the [D/F#]gravel on the [G/B]road [G]
And only the [D/F#]lucky ones [G]come [D/F#]home
[G]on the [D/F#]day after [A6-A]tomorr[D]ow
[D]And the [Dmaj7]summer, it too will [D/A]fade
and with it [Dmaj7]brings the winter's [A7/C#]frost dear
And I [Bm]know we too are [D]made
of all the [D/A]things that we have [A6]lost [A7]here
I'll be [G6]21 to[Dmaj7]day
I been [D/F#]saving all my [G/B]pay [G]
And my [D/F#]plane [G]will touch [D/F#]down
[G]on the [D/F#]day after [A6-A]tomorr[D]ow
And my [D/F#]plane [G]will touch [D/F#]down
[G]on the [D/F#]day after [A6-A]tomorr[D]ow
