  Verse 1:

        Am

  	Up every morning at the crack of dawn

        G  

  	Nights as short as the days are long

           D                                 Em  

  	Life turned out to be another magazine

        Am   

  	Livin' with a stranger now

        G

  	Girl i knew got away somehow

           D                             Em  

  	She went out with two bit gasoline

  

  	On the go,back - you know what i mean

  

  	

  Chorus:

               Am                        

  	Now when the word was Thunderbird

        G 

  	And the price recorded twice

        D                                  Em

  	Drinkin' wine and lovin' you was fun

  

  

  Verse 2:

        Am

  	Ah,but love turned out to be a passin' thing

        G 

  	Different bird of a different wing

           D                                  Em  

  	Some damn fool put a dollar twenty nine

  

  	On a jug of Thunderbird wine

               Am       

  	And Lord i don't know if i'm gonna make it

           G

  	Don't know if i'll have the strength to take it

           D                             Em

  	Everything's hung up in yesterday

  

  

  Verse 3:

        Am

  	There's you a secret-minded social girl

           G

  	Takin' short cuts in a woman's world

           D                                    Em   

  	She won't let her hair down when i'm home

            Am  

  	Society's just slavery

               G

  	And security is killing me

           D                                     Em

  	I work hard for it but i give it all away

  

  	If i could go back to yesterday
