Looks At Life
Transcribed by:  Verne Garrison
Banjo tuned Eb, Capo 4, Key of: E

    E          A       E   
Lost forever, is yesterday
                         B7
And I don't believe in tomorrow
   E                    A
I used to dream of a pot of gold
    E          B7        E
And it only brought me sorrow

I used to think that the road stretched on
'Til it went this whole world round
But now I've learned to live my life
Before the sun goes down

Chorus:

For tomorrow, when it finally comes
When the curtain of dawn fades away
The oh so many, are crushed to dust
When they find there is nothing but today

And every day, I grow and die
As though it might be my last
And kiss the minute with a thankful smile
And turn my back on the past

And wink at tomorrow, it don't scare me
I only live in today
While you might sit with your fingers crossed
And watch it all fade away

Chorus:
