Start Today Tomorrow
by Youth Group
As interpreted by Joe G
IN TWO DIFFERENT TUNINGS

In standard tuning, The A/G# is a real niusance (402220).  You could play it with a capo
2 in which the verses would be Em and D, but in standard tuning you can't get the low D
note, so the capo kind of ruins it.  FOR THE EASIER VERSION (Drop D tuning with a capo 
2), SCROLL DOWN!  I have both versions here!  --jg

In Standard Tuning:
Intro: (F#m, E)

F#m
The summer rain is falling
                                            E
Like its never going to stop here it's been ages.
F#m
Puddles form on city corners

Businessmen they leap
            E
Between the edges.

F#m           E
Mmmmm... Mmmm mmmm.

  F#m
Umbrellas take up battle spots
                                     E
But nature's fury always proves much stronger.
              F#m
And I've been sitting in my room
                                    E
Wondering if I'm going to last much longer.


    A    A/G# F#m E    B
And I've been so  damn sure
     C#m            B
That I've been here before.
     A    A/G# F#m  E B
I'll give back what I borrowed
                  E
And start today tomorrow.


F#m
I've been watching over you
                      E
Watching while you're sleeping.
F#m
Visions slowly come to me
                     E
Of you when you were sixteen,
F#m
Standing in your neighbour's house
                   E
Like the ones I've shown you.
F#m
Sometimes I get the feeling
                 E
That I've always known you.

    A    A/G# F#m E    B
And I've been so  damn sure
     C#m            B
That I've been here before.
     A    A/G# F#m  E  B
I'll rise a....bove my sorrow
                  C#m
And start today tomorrow.

E   C#m   A   E
  Yeah...

     A     A/G#  F#m  E        B
The rain's gone, here come the swallows.
                    E
Let's start today tomorrow.


===============================
AND NOW FOR THE DROP-D VERSION:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/y/youth_group/start_today_tomorrow_tab.html ]
This version is easier but requires different tuning.
Tune your low E string down two notes to D, and put a capo on the 2nd fret.  All chords
relative to the capo.


Chords in Drop D:
Em:   222000
D:    000232
G:    555433 or 55543X
G/F#: 455433 or 45543X
A:    X02220 (same as standard tuning)
Bm:   X24432 (same as standard tuning)

The chords below also sound okay without the Drop D tuning, but you won't get the low D
note and will have to adjust the picking pattern to use the higher D (open 4th string)
 Still use a capo on 2 though.

Intro: (Em, D)

  Em
e-------0---!-------0---!-------0---!-------0---!
