{Verse:}

F

Tuesday afternoon,

C Bb Am D

I'm just beginning to see, now I'm on my way,

C Bb Am D D

It doesn't matter to me, chasing the clouds away.

F

Something, calls to me,

C Bb Am D

The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why

C Bb Am

Those gentle voices I hear, explain it all with a

D D G# G# C C G# G#

sigh -------------------------------------

{Repeat 8 times in faster tempo:}

G / G / F / C

{Chorus:}

G F C G F C

I'm looking at myself reflections of my mind,

G F C G F C

It's just the kind of day to leave myself behind.

G F C G F C

So gently swaying through the fairyland of love,

G F C G F C

If you'll just come with me you'll see the beauty of

F C G F C G F C F C D

Tuesday after---noon, Tuesday afternoon.

{Repeat Arpeggio riff. The following verse is the same:}

Tuesday, afternoon,

I'm just beginning to see, now I'm on my way,

It doesn't matter to me, chasing the clouds away.

Something, calls to me,

The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why

Those gentle voices I hear, explain it all with a sigh.

{the faster riff of G/G/F/C goes on as the song fades}
