Am D G - C/G - G Em C Rollin' down the interstate straight as any ruler, D G Car filled up with music from my hungry early years. Em A All my lovin' friends who sang their way to glory, Am C And those who came before me, my band of timeless runaways, D They live in every song I play. Am Here today and gone tomorrow, D G Wild geese ridin' on the wind, Em Am Shadows fading into shadows, D G Just a trace of where we've been. Am Ever livin' in my memory, D G Ever playin' on my mind. Em Am Here today and gone tomorrow, D G - C/G - G Leavin' all their love behind.
Sittin' here beside me are the ghosts of Greenwich Village,
Seeger singin' tenor, Lee Hayes rumblin' bass.
The rebel voice of Woody, Woody Guthrie in my ears
Transports me through the years to another time and place
When a new song was our saving grace.
Here today and gone tomorrow,
Wild geese ridin' on the wind,
Shadows fadin' into shadows,
Just a trace of where we've been.
Ever livin' in my memory,
Ever playin' on my mind.
Here today and gone tomorrow,
Leavin' all their love behind.
C D All these times we're livin' in spell trouble for us all G Em When those were told the trust just can't be trusted. C D This is when I find myself driven to recall, C And I'm right back there with all my friends, D Pickin' up my old guitar again.
Here today and gone tomorrow,
Wild geese ridin' on the wind,
Shadows fadin' into shadows,
Just a trace of where we've been.
Ever livin' in my memory,
Ever playin' on my mind.
Here today and gone tomorrow,
Leavin' all their love behind.
Here today and gone tomorrow,
Leavin' all their love behind.
