Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow - The Greatest Hits Of Kenny Loggins

Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Kenny Loggins was born in Everett, WA, and moved to Los Angeles in his teens. He got a job as a staff writer and wrote four songs used on a Nitty Gritty Dirt Band album in 1970, among them the hit &quot;House at Pooh Corner.&quot; This brought him to the attention of former Poco member Jim Messina, now a staff producer at CBS, who intended to produce Loggins' debut album. The two ended up in a duo, however, and Loggins &amp; Messina made a series of successful albums during the '70s.

G             Em      C         D
Why are there so many songs about rainbows, 
G                   Em    C
and what's on the other side?
G             Em      C         D
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions.
G                   Em    C
Rainbows have nothing to hide.
C
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
D7  D
I know the wrong way to see.
C                D          G             Em
Some day we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
C               D             G
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
G             Em              C         D
Who said that every wish will be heard and answered
G                   Em    C
and wished on a morning star?
G             Em               C         D
Somebody thought of that and someone believed him.
G               Em    C
Look what it's done so far.
C
What's so amazing and keeps us stargazing?
D7  D
What do we think we might see?
C                D          G             Em
Some day we'll find it, the rainbow connection, 
C               D             G
The lovers, the dreamers an me.
G             Em               C         D
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
G               Em    C
I've heard them calling my name.
G             Em                 C             D
Are these the sweet sounds that called the young sailors?
G               Em    C
I think that they're one and the same.
C
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
D7   D
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
C                          D       G     Em
Someday we'll find it the rainbow connection,
C               D             G
the lovers, the dreamers and me.
Someday we'll find it the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.

Christopher Robin and I walked along

Under branches lit up by the moon
G          D             Em
Posing our questions to owl and Eyore
       Am        D             G
As our days disappeared all to soon
       Em                    D       
But I wandered much further today than I should
      Em                        A            D
And I can't seen to find my way back to the wood

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Overreacting

It takes a while to get used to the rhythm. In the verse the
time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.

get a friend to strum the chords: C, G, Em, D in the background
