A New Day Yesterday By Ian Anderson the band still showing some ties to its "blue" roots. It is based around a nice little hypnotic riff ably worked over by Martin "Lancelot" Barre.

Em G My first and last time with you Em G And we had some fun Em G Went walkin' through the trees (yeah) Em G and then I kissed you once A Em Oh, I want to see you soon C Em But I wonder how G A It was a new day yesterday C7 Em (repeat main riff) but it's an old day now Em G Spent a long time lookin' Em G for a game to play Em G My luck should be so bad Em G to turn out this way A Em I had to leave today C Em just when I thought I found you G A It was a new day yesterday C7 Em (to main riff) but it's an old day now A lead is played over the main riff and walkdown motif then the band returns to the chorus. They really slow down the "old day now" at the end and wring it out for all it's worth. The live version on "Bursting Out" is a more up tempo version and Martin really shows his chops on that one. Hope you all have fun with this one!
