Lyrics

Town of Yesterday (partial capo on fret 2, 1-5 and partial capo on fret 4, 2-4 in B)

B
I have my bags all packed. I am not looking back.
E2,6 B
Tomorrow is the only place I’ll go.
F#r3 E2,6
I don’t care if I lose my way.
These walking shoes are here to stay.
F#r3 E2,6 B
I’m leaving the town of Yesterday.
I’m leaving the town of Yesterday.


I won’t be paying rent. My common sense is spent.
I’m heading now out west for the rodeo.
My hat of doubt has blown right off.
With one hand free I won’t be tossed.
I’m leaving the town of Yesterday.
I’m leaving the town of Yesterday.


Harp solo

You ask when I’m coming back. You don’t see the hour glass crack.
But you can come with me if you’re not slow.
We will wander but we won’t stray.
We will hear wind spirits play.
We’ll be leaving the town of Yesterday.
We’ll be leaving the town of Yesterday.

Verse one
