D Well my soul checked out missin' as I sat listenin' Bm To the hours and minutes tickin' away. Em Yeah, just sittin around waitin' for my life to begin E G While it was all just slippin' away D Well I'm tired of waitin' for tomorrow to come Bm For the train to come rollin' 'round the bend Em I got a new suit of clothes and a pretty red rose G A women I can call my friend Chorus: G D These are Better Days, baby G Yeah, there's Better Days shinin' through G D These are Better Days, baby Em G D Better Days with a girl like you Well I took a piss at fortune's sweet kiss It's like eatin' caviar and dirt It's sad funny ending to find yourself pretending A rich man in a poor man's shirt Now my ass was draggin' when from a passin' gypsy wagon Your heart like a diamond shone Tonight I'm layin' in your arms carvin' lucky charms Out of these hard-luck bones Chorus: These are better days, baby These are better days, it's true These are better days, baby There's better days shining through Now a life of leisure and a pirate's treasure Don't make much for tragedy But it's a sad man, my friend, who's livin' in his own skin And can't stand the company Every fool's got a reason for feelin' sorry for himself And turning his heart to stone Tonight this fool's halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell And I feel like I'm comin' home Chorus: These are better days, baby There's better days shining through These are better days, baby Better days with a girl like you These are better days, baby These are better days, it's true These are better days, baby Better days are shining through These are better days, baby These are better days, it's true These are better days, baby Better days are shining through These are better days, baby These are better days, baby Better days are shining through These are better days These are better days Better days are shining through You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsBm  D  E  Em  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
