  Better Days

  -----------

  

  Well my soul checked out missin' as I sat listenin'

  E

  To the hours and minutes tickin' away.

  E                                 c#-minor

  Yeah, just sittin around waitin' for my life to begin

             f#-minor

  While it was all just slippin' away

  f#-minor                        A

  Well I'm tired of waitin' for tomorrow to come

           E

  For the train to come rollin' 'round the bend

  E                                        c#-minor

  I got a new suit of clothes and a pretty red rose

          f#-minor

  A women I can call my friend

  F#-minor              A

  

  CHORUS 1:

  These are Better Days, baby

  A                E

  Yeah, there's Better Days shinin' through

  E                                 A

  These are Better Days, baby

  A                E

  Better Days with a girl like you

         f#-minor    A         E

  

  Well I took a piss at fortune's sweet kiss

  E

  It's like eatin' cavier in the dirt

  E                              c#-minor

  It's a sad funny ending when you find yourself pretending

         f#-minor

  To be a rich man in a poor man's shirt

  f#-minor                         A

  Now my ass was draggin from a passin' gypsy wagon

         E

  Your heart like a diamond shown

  E                         c#-minor

  Tryin' to lay it in your arms, count the lucky charms

         f#-minor

  Get out of these hard luck bones

  

  CHORUS 2

  These are Better Days, baby

  A                E

  Yeah, there's Better Days shinin' through

  E                                 A

  These are Better Days, baby

  A                E

  Better Days are shining through

         A        B       E

  

       <Instrumental bridge>:   A    c#-minor   F#-minor A    E

  

  Now a life of leisure, and a pirate's treasure

  E

  Don't make much for tragedy.

  E                        c#-minor

  It's a sad man, my friend, whose livin' in his own skin,

         f#-minor

  And can't stand the company.

  f#-minor                 A

  Every fools got a reason to feel sorry for himself

        E

  And turning his heart to stone

  E                        c#-minor

  Drag this fool half way to heaven, just a mile on to hell

            f#-minor

  And I feel like I'm comin' home!

  F#-minor                   A
