Tomorrow's Gonna Be a Brighter Day

Words and music by Jim Croce

transcribed by John B. McLeroy

Each line is a measure, unless otherwise noted.

Well, I'm

[G]sorry for the [G7]things I [C]told you, but

[G]words only [G7]go so [C]far. And if I

[G]had my way I would [Am7]reach into heaven and I'd

[Em]pull you [F]down a [C]star for a present. And I'd

[G]make you a chain out of [C]diamonds or

[Am7]pearls from a [F]summer sea. [C]But

[G]all I can give you is a [Am7]kiss in the mornin' and a

[Em]sweet a[F]pology. //half measure

[C]

[G] [C]

[G] [C]Well, I

[G]know that it hasn't been eas[C]y. And I

[G]haven't always been around [C]to

[G]say the right words, or to [Am7]hold you in the mornin', or to

[Em]help you [F]when you're down. [C]I know I

[G]never showed you much of a good [C]time, but baby

[Am7]things are [F]gonna change. [C]I'm gonna

[G]make up for all of the [Am7]hurt I brought, I'm gonna

[Em]love away [F]all your pain. //half measure

(Chorus:)

[C]And To-

[G]morrow's gonna [Em]be a brighter day;

[Am7]there's gonna [D7]be some changes. To-

[G]morrow's gonna [Em]be a brighter day;

[Am7]this [D7]time you can believe me.

[G]No more cryin' in your [C]lonely room,

[Am7]no more [F]empty [C]nights, 'Cause to-

[G]morrow mornin' [Am7]everything'll [D7]turn out

[G]right. [C]

[G] [C]Well there's

[G]something that I gotta tell [C]you; yes I

[G]got something on my [C]mind. But

[G]words come hard when you're [Am7]lyin' in my arms, and when I'm

[Em]lookin' deep in[F]to your [C]eyes. But there's

[G]truth and consola[C]tion in

[Am7]what I'm [F]tryin' to [C]say, is that

[G]nobody ever had a [Am7]rainbow, baby un-

[Em]til he [F]had the rain. //half measure

(repeat Chorus)
