Living In The Future Tab

by John Prine


Its a pretty basic chord progression....

Jehosaphat the mongrel cat
                     
Jumped off the roof today

Some say he fell but I could tell
   (or )     
He did himself away

Well his eyes weren't bright

Like they were the night
                          
We played checkers on the train

well god bless his soul he was a tootsie roll
          (B7)
but hes a dead cat just the same....

Thats the verse...all the chords are the same for each one...

                         
We are living in the future
                  
I tell you how I know
                  
I read it in the paper
(B7)          
fifteen years ago
                        
We're all driving rocket ships
                       
and talking with our minds
                   
wearin turquois jewelery
(B7)                
And standin in soup lines
