Yesterdays Gone

C                         F C
Yesterday's gone like the ocean
F Am                G
  Taken by the tide
C                      F  C
Like the night and the morning
F      Am            G
Like a bird when she flies

Am                        Em
Yesterday's gone and it's only now
  Am                        Em
A place where today used to be
F                      C          Esus4   E
Lost in the space of forever and eternity

But tomorrow the sun will be born in
The twinkling of an eye
Father and mother of morning
Hope of today's gone by

The beginning of all that has happened
Yet the ending of all that's to be
Just a rhyme in the line of the song only time can sing

        Am            Am/G        F
Ah, but I've read the book long before
      D/F#           G    G/G#        Am
I had learned how to read between the lines
Am\G F                     C                       Esus4  E
I    saw only what I could see through my eyes not my mind
                    Am
God it takes a long time
