Here Today And Gone Tomorrow by James King
Here Today And Gone Tomorrow
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: D
[Verse 1]
D G D
I got on a greyhound bus in Oklahoma
G D
An old man up ahead was talking wild
G D
He was laying down the tracks to his life story
G A A7
Of things he could remember as a child
[Verse 2]
D G D
He talked about a girl he'd been in love with
G D
And spoke of her as though she were a queen
G D
He said her skin was soft as southern sunshine
G D
And she had the bluest eyes he'd ever seen
[Verse 3]
D G D
On and on he rambled with his stories
G D
I heard him say his age was sixty-three
G D
His skin was dry and brown like ancient leather
G A A7
I swear he looked a hundred years to me
[Verse 4]
D G D
He spoke about the days when he had money
G D
And a woman took him for a ride
G D
He said I gave her everything she wanted
G D D7
But some of them ain't ever satisfied
[Chorus 1]
G D
Here today and gone tomorrow
G D D7
In search of greener pastures they can't find
G D
Here today and gone tomorrow
G D
Shatted lives are always left behind
[Verse 5]
D G D
The miles were slipping by and he grew quiet
G D
I was spellbound by the stories he had told
G D
I knew as I grew near my destination
G A A7
I'd heard a bit of history unfold
[Verse 6]
D G D
As we pulled into Chicago he was silent
G D
The driver called a stop turned on the light
G D
But not a sound was made we couldn't wake him
G D D7
The old man made the crossing in the night
[Chorus 2]
G D
Here today and gone tomorrow
G D D7
He slipped away as quickly as he came
G D
Here today and gone tomorrow
G D
And Lord we didn't even know his name
[Tag]
D G D
Lord we didn't even know his name
G D
Here today and gone tomorrow
