Later Days

Tom: G

Intro:   |:  G  Am  :|  (4x) 

          G                Am 
In these later days we're making 

   G             Am 
a living on the taking 

           G             D                   Am              C 
from each other all the things for which we have no further use 

See the people there on Friday 
at the barter fair say 'why pay' 
could I trade you this fine portrait for those shoes 

And I know that I don't know you well 
but holding your hand I can tell 
that if I ever lost you I'd be crazed 

         G              Am 
And the sunny field is darkened by 

     G            Am 
the shadows I am harkened by 

           G               Am                  D     D/C   D/B  D/C 
could you hold me tightly through these later days 

D          D/C        D/B        D/A        G 
      Later Days later days later days later 


These commercials have me thinking 
what I drive and what I'm drinking 
are in essence just the things that make me free 

We're not movin' on the freeway 
and there's got to be a new way 
to get my things from point A to point B 

And the sunny field is darkened by 
the shadows I am harken by 
could you hold me tightly through these later days 

Later Days later days later days later
