Golden Tom - Silver Judas

Edit

5     5  5   -5 6   6    6   -6  6    -6  6 -6   6
They say that today makes up for what yesterday lacked
 5  -5  -6    6   6   -6   6  6  -5   6  -6  5
And it must be some old day and that is a fact
 5    5     5 -5 6 6    6   -6    6    -6   6     -6 6
Can't talk to nobody, don't know just how they'll react
  5    -5  -6 6   6   -6
Weigh the silver and gold
 6  6  -5   6  -6 5
Be precise and exact

Chorus
 6   -6  -7 -6  6  -6  6   -7 -6 6
How can today make up for yesterday
 6   -6 -7  -6  6  -6  6    -7  -6    7-7-6
For if we break up, I guess you would stay

 Buffalo Bill wouldn't have known what to do
 If he got a just one look, just one good look at you
 And I don't know what to do either
 Just want to tell you it's neither
 Tom said "Don't take her,"
 Judas said "Leave her"

 How can today make up for yesterday
 For if we break up, I guess you would stay

 So Golden Tom said to poor Silver Judas
 "It's so hard to say who's the worst of the two of us
 So don't brood
 There's no fraud in this fued
 I don't know, I don't know
 I don't know what to do"

 How can today make up for yesterday
 For if we break up, I guess you would stay
