****************** WHEN THE WORD WAS THUNDERBIRD ****************

written and performed by Billy Joe Shaver.



Verse 1:
      Am
	Up every morning at the crack of dawn
      G
	Nights as short as the days are long
         D                                 Em
	Life turned out to be another magazine
      Am
	Livin' with a stranger now
      G
	Girl i knew got away somehow
         D                             Em
	She went out with two bit gasoline

	On the go,back - you know what i mean


Chorus:
             Am
	Now when the word was Thunderbird
      G
	And the price recorded twice
      D                                  Em
	Drinkin' wine and lovin' you was fun


Verse 2:
      Am
	Ah,but love turned out to be a passin' thing
      G
	Different bird of a different wing
         D                                  Em
	Some damn fool put a dollar twenty nine

	On a jug of Thunderbird wine
             Am
	And Lord i don't know if i'm gonna make it
         G
	Don't know if i'll have the strength to take it
         D                             Em
	Everything's hung up in yesterday


Verse 3:
      Am
	There's you a secret-minded social girl
         G
	Takin' short cuts in a woman's world
         D                                    Em
	She won't let her hair down when i'm home
          Am
	Society's just slavery
             G
	And security is killing me
         D                                     Em
	I work hard for it but i give it all away

	If i could go back to yesterday


Chorus (x2).
