Verse 1
Oh, if I make a mark in time, I can t say the mark is mine,
I m only the un-derline of the word,
Yes, I m like him, just like you, I can t tell you what to do,
Like everybody else I m searching through what I ve heard!
Whoa-oh-oh, where do you go when you don t want no one to know?
Who-oo-oo told tomor-row Tuesday s dead----?
Verse 2
| / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / |
Oh, preacher won t you paint my dream?
Won t you show me where you ve been?
Show me what I have-n t seen to ease my mind,
Cause I will learn to un-derstand, if I have a help-ing hand,
I wouldn t make an-other demand all my life!
Whoa-oh-oh, where do you go when you don t want no one to know?
Who-oo-oo told tomor-row Tuesday s dead----?
Instrumental Verse (3) (Steel drum on album or Hummed vocal on some live versions)

Verse 4
What s my sex? What s my name? All in all it s all the same,
Everybody plays a different game, that is all,
Now, Man may live, man may die, searching for the quest-ion why,
But if he tries to rule the sky, he must fall---!
Whoa-oh-oh, where do you go when you don t want no one to know?
Who-oo-oo told tomor-row Tuesday s dead----?
Verse 5
Now every second, on the nose, the humdrum of the city grows,
Reaching out be-yond the throes of our time,
We must try to shake it down, do our best to break the ground,
Try to turn the world around one more time!
Yes, we must try to shake it down, do our best to break the ground,
Try to turn the world around one more time!
Whoa-oh-oh, where do you go when you don t want no one to know?
Who-oo-oo told tomor-row Tuesday s dead----?
