[Verse 1]
D
Well my soul checked out missin' as I sat listenin'
D Bm
To the hours and minutes tickin' away.
Em
Yeah, just sittin around waitin' for my life to begin
Em G
While it was all just slippin' away
D
Well I'm tired of waitin' for tomorrow to come

For the train to come rollin' 'round the bend
Em
I got a new suit of clothes and a pretty red rose
Em G
A women I can call my friend
[Chorus]

These are Better Days, baby Better Days with a girl like you
[Verse 2]
D
Well I took a piss at fortune's sweet kiss
D Bm
It's like eatin' cavier in the dirt
Em
It's a sad funny ending when you find yourself pretending
Em G
To be a rich man in a poor man's shirt
D
Now my ass was draggin from a passin' gypsy wagon
D Bm
Your heart like a diamond shone
Em
Tonight I'm layin' in your arms, carvin' lucky charms
Em G
Out of these hard luck bones
[Chorus]
G D D G
These are Better Days, baby These are better days it's true
G D Em G D
These are Better Days, baby Better Days are shining through

great tab.the only difference i play is on "better days are shining through" i play g-a-d not em-g-d
+1
This is definitely the closest version on here, but it's in Drop D...which I think has made people think it's a full step down. Even stranger is that one of the tabs has the chords for if it was a full step down but it doesn't actually say it's a full step down. That means the highest rated tab for the song is a full step up from he original. No idea why.
