      G
The snakes they can crawl
          C
And the cheetahs they can bawl
            G                         D
And their ghosts can wait for the hereafter
    G
But if you are so proud
       C
As to say that's not allowed
         G             D                   G
We will get sick and choke ourselves with laughter

Chorus:
         D
And the girlfriends that you knew
              G
To whom you promised to be true
                  D
We'll have their sisters
                 Em
Hanging from the rafters
    G                           C
And every dirty shade will rise rotting
from the grave
   G              D                G
Tomorrow will be just like the day after

Oh, the bitter desert wind will
come ripping through your skin
And everything that's calm will turn to madness
And all of your false tears will
come whirling down the years
And what was kind and warm will turn to sadness

And the sun and the moon will
come begging at your door
The stars will turn to rust and drop from the skies
And everybody soon will be asking you for more
And everybody will be telling lies

Chorus - x2

Tomorrow will be just like the day after
