 "The Day Before Yesterday's Man" by
 
 "The Supernaturals" from the album
 
 "It doesn't matter anymore" on
 
 "Food Records"
 
 Transcribed by Gary Perkin. Not many words with the CD, so this is
 what they sound like to me.
 
 This little song shows how much you can do with just three chords
 
 Verse 1:

 --------
 

 
 C                         G                  
 Jesus, I'm freaking, I've had such a weekend,
 
   F                          C                                 
 I think I must be turning to dust, (Not too sure about "dust"?)
 
    C                             G                      
 My girlfriend has dumped me, and headed for the country,
 
        F                   C     
 with a boy who wears white socks,
 
            G                      
 I wish the pavements were burning,
 
     F                  CC FF CC FF 
 and summer was coming along,
 
             G                  
 Instead I'm virtually freezing,
 
     F                          CC FF CC FF 
 and working on this boring old song
 
 Chorus:

 -------
 

               C    G        F   G 
 'Cos when the shit hits the fan,
 
               C              G    F   G 
 you know I've always been an also ran,
 
 C             G     F    G 
 Please please understand,
 
             C          G           F    G    
 Yes I'm the day before yesterday's man, yeah!
 
 G         F             C          F         
 Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, the day before yesterday,
 
     C          F        
 the day before yesterday
 
 Verse 2:

 --------
 

 
    C                       G                     
 My palms are sweating, I'm trying hard forgetting
 
 F                         C   
 Things that I didn't even say,
 
         C                           G                          
 There's nothing on the box, and I'm getting desperate thoughts,
 
        F                  C   
 That I just can't keep at bay.
 
            G                   
 I wish the tables were turning,
 
     F                     CC FF CC FF 
 and something was coming along,
 
             G                  
 Instead I'm virtually freaking,
 
     F                      CC FF CC FF 
 and everything is going so wrong,
 
 Up-tempo Outro:

 ---------------
 

 
 G      F           CC FF CC FF 
 Day, before, yesterday.
