VERSE 1
Am Em G
We told our tales as we
Am Em G
sat under mornin's sleepy
Am Em G
sky
Am Em G
Am Em G
Am Em G
With all the colours of the
Am Em G
sunrise shining in our
Am Em G
eyes
Am Em G
Am Em G
F Em G
One, then another with a
F Em G
story of yesterday's
Am Em G
lives
Am Em G
Am Em G
F Em G
or of a lover who had
F Em G
gone in a moment of
Am Em G
strife
[Pedal Steel Guitar solo over the same chords]
VERSE 2
Am Em G
No thought of sleep ever
Am Em G
dwells upon the wise man's
Am Em G
mind
Am Em G
Am Em G
Am Em G
Some task or audience
Am Em G
stealing every moment of his
Am Em G
time
Am Em G
Am Em G
F Em G
Thus we have learned to live while
F Em G
mortal man lies waiting to
Am Em G
die
Am Em G
Am Em G
F Em G
How can we do what must be
F Em G
done in just one short
Am Em G
life?
BRIDGE
C#m
And if you ask, then you should
Ab
know, if you still doubt you should be
F
told, it was not we that made it
Ab
so, it was by those who went
Am
before...
Am Em G
Am Em G
CHORUS
Am Em G
And there you sit tomorrow's
Am Em G
child, so full of love so full of
Am Em G
life, but you must rise to meet the
Am Em G
day, lest you become another
Am Em G
tale, and there you sit tomorrow's ...(repeat CHORUS and FADE)

I remember singing this at my high school talent show. That was in 1979 and
I got some very nice complements on it.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official URIAH HEEP tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
