TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF MY LIFE
RHYMES AND REASONS (1969)
G
Today is the first day
C
of the rest of my life
Am
I wake as a child
Em
to see the world again
on monarch wings
Am Em
and birthday wonderings
D
want to put on faces
Am A7 D
walk in the wet and cold
G Bm Em
and look forward to my growing old
D
to grow is to change
Em
to change is to be new
Am
to be new is to be young again
C D
I barely remember when
Em Am Em
my memories are stolen by the morning
Em Am Em
blotted out by the sun's hypnotic eye
Em D
G
Today is the first day
C
of the rest of my life
Am
I wake as a child
Em
to see the world begin on monarch wings
Am Em
and birthday wonderings
D
want to put on faces
Am A7 D
walk in the wet and cold
G Bm Em
and look forward to my growing old
