Yet To Be

Intro: D 



[Verso 1]

D 
She was born on a farm 
            G 
Working the clay 
    A                    D 
She ran off when she was sixteen 
D 
Down a long country road 
                G 
With nowhere to go 
    A                        D 
She knew that she had to leave 
D 
She hopped a one way train 
                 G 
With a ticket to ride 
                                 D 
In the third class back with the others 
D 
She watched the farm fade away 
                G 
Just hoping and praying 
      A                           D 
She'd have a better life than her mother's 



[Refrão]
 
D           G    D                    A 
It's a long long way from where we've been 
    D        G      D 
The here and now is better than it was back then 
                     G 
Today may break your heart 
      D                A 
But tomorrow holds the key 
      D       G           D 
We've come so far but the best is yet to be 



[Verso 2]

D 
He was born on the farm 
                    G 
But he didn't wanna stay 
                           D 
His daddy said he was a fool 
                                G 
So he crept away in the dead of night 
                                  D 
And got a steamer out of Liverpool 
                                                 G 
Well, it's far far away from the green fields at home 
                         D 
To the wild Atlantic gray 
                                             G 
He was hoping for work and he prayed for the love 
                      D 
Waiting half a world away 



[Refrão]
 
D           G    D                    A 
It's a long long way from where we've been 
    D        G      D 
The here and now is better than it was back then 
                     G 
Today may break your heart 
      D                A 
But tomorrow holds the key 
      D       G           D 
We've come so far but the best is yet to be 



[Verso 3]

D 
She was mopping the floor 
                   G 
He was working the bar 
                A                D 
It was a divine collision of the human heart 
                               G 
It was east of her and west of him 
                                     D 
They were wishing on the same bright star 
                                    A  D 
And then the baby was a brand new start 


Interlude: D  G   D 



[Ponte]
 
   C   G      D      F  G 
In the hollow of his hand 
    D       G      D  A  F    G 
The road is rising up to meet them
