A New Day Yesterday Lyrics

A New Day Yesterday
By Ian Anderson
the band still showing some ties to its "blue" roots. It is based around a nice
little hypnotic riff ably worked over by Martin "Lancelot" Barre.

My first and last time with you
And we had some fun
Went walkin' through the trees (yeah)
and then I kissed you once
Oh, I want to see you soon
But I wonder how
It was a new day yesterday
C7 Em (repeat main riff)
but it's an old day now
Spent a long time lookin'
for a game to play
My luck should be so bad
to turn out this way
I had to leave today
just when I thought I found you
It was a new day yesterday
C7 Em (to main riff)
but it's an old day now
A lead is played over the main riff and walkdown motif then the band returns to
the chorus. They really slow down the "old day now" at the end and wring it out
for all it's worth. The live version on "Bursting Out" is a more up tempo version
and Martin really shows his chops on that one. Hope you all have fun with this one!
