Billy Joe Shaver

WHEN THE WORD WAS THUNDERBIRD

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

Chorus (x2).
