Y<\/span>esterday’s toys
\nyou throw them all away
\nyou dont even stop to watch
\ntheir paper hearts in the flames…<\/p>\n

T<\/span>his is one of those songs that will probably never get done ‘right’ unless someone else does it. I probably ought to change the key I typically play it in (I wrote it in E major but typically do everything<\/span> a half step flat, going so far as to keep my main acoustic guitar downtuned that much)… but I really like the way that big open E major (ok, Eb, but you guitarists will know what I mean) sounds. I can cap up but I need to go down, I think, and… ah… now we’re talking about how making sausage works, huh?) Anyhow, this was the best I could do with this song today. I’m sorry, Virginia, it’s a big nasty world and I’m only human.<\/p>\n

[Strike that… I just replaced the recording referenced above and in the links below with a version I recorded Wednesday. Both recordings have problems. I juggled the competing sets of self-revulsions and went with the one I don’t hate right now. Or the one I do, <\/span>however that works. What can I say? It’s tomorrow already…<\/span> Have I said, Hey, that’s what the AYoS project’s all about<\/span>, lately? Ah well. I knew there’d be days like… uh, yesterday.]<\/p>\n

He should have E~ g#m g#m<\/span>
\nseen it coming
\nbut he never dreamed
\nhe’d ever have to watch her leave
\nShe laughed all the way to Austin
\nAnd she cried the rest of the
\nway to New Orleans<\/p>\n

Baby Doll, it’s all because of you g#m ~ f#m<\/span>
\nYou always sew destruction
\nNo matter what ya say you’re trying to do
\nNow always get
\nwhatever it is
\nyou want
\nand as long as I’ve known you
\nYou always want
\nwhat you ain’t got<\/p>\n

I have known you
\nsuch a long long time
\nand you know I wouldn’t say
\nit if it wasn’t true
\nYou don’t have a heart I know
\nbut I’m recently convinced there’s no soul
\ninside of you<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s toys you
\nthrow them all away
\nyou dont even watch
\nto see their paper hearts in the flames
\nLike a goddess before
\nthe gods learned how to feel
\nIn your universe your world is the
\nonly one that’s real<\/p>\n

bridge:<\/span> c#m ~ g#m ~ <\/span>
\n(look here baby)
\nBaby I got the map on you
\nEvery lie you tell
\nI can drill right through
\nBaby Doll the fall is coming soon
\nand when it falls
\nit’s all gonna be on you<\/p>\n

He shoulda <\/span>E~ g#m g#m<\/span>
\nseen it coming<\/span>
\nbut he never dreamed<\/span>
\nhe’d have to watch her leave<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
