Tomorrow Is A Long Time

A Dylan Classic, and covered by Elvis pretty well too.

C/F means keep playing C, but hammer on the F chord at the same time.

     C       C/F            C         C/F  C
If today was not an endless highway,
     C       C/F            C         C/F  C
If tonight was not a crooked trail,
   C/F      G          C         C/F  C
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time,
     C/F                 G        C         C/F  C
Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all.

     C   C/F      G         C     C/F  C
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin',
     C   C/F      G         C     C/F  C
if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin',
     C   C/F      G         C     C/F  C
Yes, and only if she was lyin' by me,
    C/F . . .     G7 . . .   C      C/F  C
I'd lie     in my bed       once again.

     C       C/F            C         C/F  C
I can't see my reflection in the waters,
     C       C/F            C         C/F  C
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain,
   C/F      G          C         C/F  C
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps,
     C/F                 G        C         C/F  C
Or can't remember the sound of my own name.

     C   C/F      G         C     C/F  C
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin',
     C   C/F      G         C     C/F  C
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin',
     C   C/F      G         C     C/F  C
Only if she was lyin' by me,
    C/F . . .     G7 . . .   C      C/F  C
Then I'd lie in my bed once again.

     C       C/F            C         C/F  C
There's beauty in the silver, singin' river,
     C       C/F            C         C/F  C
There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky,
   C/F                         G          C         C/F  C
But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty
     C/F                 G        C         C/F  C
That I remember in my true love's eyes.

     C   C/F      G         C     C/F  C
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin',
     C   C/F      G         C     C/F  C
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin',
     C   C/F      G         C     C/F  C
Only if she was lyin' by me,
     C/F                 G        C         C/F  C
Then I'd lie in my bed once again.
