Artist: John Hartford
Song: Today
Verse
[E] [A] [E]
Lost forever, is yesterday
[B7] [E]
And I don't believe in tomorrow
[A] [E] [A]
I used to dream of a pot of gold
[A] [B7]
And it only brought me sorrow
Verse
[E] [A] [E]
I used to think that the road stretched on
[B7] [E]
'Til it went this whole world round
[A] [E] [A]
But now I've learned to live my life
[A] [B7]
Before the sun goes down
Chorus
[E] [A] [E]
For tomorrow, when it finally comes
[B7] [E]
When the curtain of dawn fades away
[A] [E] [A]
The hopes are many, are crushed to dust
[A] [B7] [E]
When they find there is nothing but today
Verse
[E] [A] [E]
And every day, I grow and die
[B7] [E]
As though it might be my last
[A] [E] [A]
And kiss the minute with a thankful smile
[A] [B7]
And turn my back on the past
Verse
[E] [A] [E]
And wink at tomorrow, it don't scare me
[B7] [E]
I only live in today
[A] [E] [A]
While you might sit with your fingers crossed
[A] [B7]
And watch it all fade away
Chorus
[E] [A] [E]
For tomorrow, when it finally comes
[B7] [E]
When the curtain of dawn fades away
[A] [E] [A]
The hopes are many, are crushed to dust
[A] [B7] [E]
When they find there is nothing but today
