Tomorrow Is a Long Time – Bob Dylan

 

C                   

If today was not an endless highway,

C
If tonight was not a crooked trail,

       F          G                    C
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time,

         F                                   G                         C
Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all.

 

 

Chorus

                F             G                           C
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin',

          F                         G                   C
And if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin',

               F         G                  C    
Yes and Only if she was lyin' by me,

          F                G                C
Then I'd lie in my bed once again.

 

 

C
I can't see my reflection in the waters,

C
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain,

           F            G                C
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps,

         F                 G                          C
Or remember the sound of my own name.

 

CHORUS
 

C
There's beauty in the silver, singin' river,

C
There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky,

                    F                           G                           C
But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty

        F                 G                        C 
That I remember in my true love's eyes.
