Start Today Tomorrow Lyrics

As interpreted by Joe G
IN TWO DIFFERENT TUNINGS
In standard tuning, The A/G# is a real niusance (402220). You could play it with a capo
2 in which the verses would be Em and D, but in standard tuning you can't get the low D
note, so the capo kind of ruins it. FOR THE EASIER VERSION (Drop D tuning with a capo
2), SCROLL DOWN! I have both versions here! --jg
In Standard Tuning:
Intro: (F#m, E)
e-------2---!-------2---!-------2---!-------2---!
B--------2--!--------2--!--------2--!--------2--!
G---------2-!---------2-!---------2-!---------2-!
D-----4-----!-----4-----!-----4-----!-----4-----!
A-----------!--4--------!-----------!--4--------!
E--2--------!-----------!--2--------!-----------!
e-------0---!--4----0---!-------0---!--4----0---!
B--------0--!--------0--!--------0--!--------0--!
G---------1-!---------1-!---------1-!---------1-!
D-----2-----!-----2-----!-----2-----!-----2-----!
A-----------!--2--------!-----------!--2--------!
E--0--------!-----------!--0--------!-----------!
The summer rain is falling
Like its never going to stop here it's been ages.
Puddles form on city corners
Businessmen they leap
Between the edges.
Mmmmm... Mmmm mmmm.
Umbrellas take up battle spots
But nature's fury always proves much stronger.
And I've been sitting in my room
Wondering if I'm going to last much longer.
And I've been so damn sure
That I've been here before.
I'll give back what I borrowed
And start today tomorrow.
I've been watching over you
Watching while you're sleeping.
Visions slowly come to me
Of you when you were sixteen,
Standing in your neighbour's house
Like the ones I've shown you.
Sometimes I get the feeling
That I've always known you.
And I've been so damn sure
That I've been here before.
I'll rise a....bove my sorrow
And start today tomorrow.
Yeah...
The rain's gone, here come the swallows.
Let's start today tomorrow.
AND NOW FOR THE DROP-D VERSION:
This version is easier but requires different tuning.
Tune your low E string down two notes to D, and put a capo on the 2nd fret. All chords
relative to the capo.
Chords in Drop D:
Em: 222000
D: 000232
G: 555433 or 55543X
G/F#: 455433 or 45543X
A: X02220 (same as standard tuning)
Bm: X24432 (same as standard tuning)
The chords below also sound okay without the Drop D tuning, but you won't get the low D
note and will have to adjust the picking pattern to use the higher D (open 4th string)
Still use a capo on 2 though.
Intro: (Em, D)
e-------0---!-------0---!-------0---!-------0---!
B--------0--!--------0--!--------0--!--------0--!
G---------0-!---------0-!---------0-!---------0-!
d-----2-----!-----2-----!-----2-----!-----2-----!
A-----------!--2--------!-----------!--2--------!
D--2--------!-----------!--2--------!-----------!
e-----------!--2--------!-----------!--2--------!
B-------3---!-------3---!-------3---!-------3---!
G--------2--!--------2--!--------2--!--------2--!
d-----0---0-!-----0---0-!-----2---0-!-----0---0-!
A-----------!--0--------!-----------!--0--------!
D--0--------!-----------!--0--------!-----------!
