Here Today Gone Tomorrow Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Riff 1

This riff is played almost throughout the song. It's fun to improvise with

it a little, like the guys do in the actual song.

Riff 2

G --3h4--0--3h4--0--4/5--4--0---3h4--0--4/5--4--0---

Intro

Riff 1

Verse

(Keep playing Riff 1)

I used to hide my camels in a paper bag

I only took them out when it was safe to drag

My first sixteen years in a catholic-boy suit

One father with a sixer and a steel-toe boot

See we're all...

Here today, gone tomorrow

(Now a second guitar comes in, repeating Riff 2, while the first

guitar keeps chugging away on Riff 1).

One night in the mirror I saw a movie star (Riff 2)

So I flew to Hollywood in a neighbor's car (Riff 2)

A pack of No-Doz

I'm a bundle of nerves (Riff 2)

Laughing out loud as the highway curves (Riff 2)

'Cause you know we're all

(Repeating chords G F come in here)

Here today, gone tomorrow

Bridge

(These chords are improvised, but they sound sort of okay)

 3G5x33F3 3G3553F3 F F F F (or instead of F you can try 113213)

Solo

(I'm not going to bother to transcribe it. Sorry.)

Play G F repeatedly under the solo.

Verse

(Back to just Riff 1)

Twenty-two miles out of Pasadena

I picked up a hiker named Tina

Now we've only been here a couple of weeks

Soaking up the sun, the drugs and the freaks

We hit it off and moved in together

Got a cat named Ringo and it purred like leather

We robbed a bank in Santa Monica

Bought a Caddy and a gold harmonica

(Riff 2 comes in here)

We'd ride by day and play by night

(chords come in here)

We're making love every night

Here today, gone tomorrow

So we went up to Hef's to meet some bunnies

I saw Hugh he was actin' funny

He handed me some grass and a vodka and gin

And that's about the time that Jack Webb walked in

He said "Son, I'm gonna tell you something and it ain't pretty

There's a thousand ways to die in this naked city"

Here today, gone tomorrow

You know we're

Here today, gone tomorrow
