[D]
[Bm] [A]
[Bm] [D]
[Bm] [A]
[F#] What's the sun switching in the sky?
[Bm] Often on where [D] a friend stands bleeding [Bm] on the ledge
[F#] Some are not a sledge [Bm] back, bloody black gunshot [D] to the head
He is falling in the [Bm] valley of the rock and [A] roll fair
[B] I [D]
[A]
[B] hear a breeze that wheezes through the tips [Bm] of the pines
Where does laughter end?
They scream into the [B] rafters in the night
The [A] moon roars streaming [Bm] through the lake sky
Scout and a friend laugh, bleeding through his jacket [F#] and his tie
As the frog makes a note back around
[D] It's a win, we will fight like the river [F#] with the rock and [A] roll skin
[Bm] Time's hand,
[A]
[Bm] [D]
[A]
[B] like the water, love is lapping the skin of the [D] shore
I hear a friend come tapping [B] the [A] latches on the door
[B] As the bird starts slapping all the ladders [D] now to throw
We are [A] thrashing in the clatter [B] of the rock and roll on minus one
[Bm] [F#]

[Bm]
[A]
It's [F#] just a [D] loud crowd, just a thrush scheme flying through the lake
Autumn dust just for the very last time
It's just a busted up body in the dust
The last row out of the city when the city explodes
Black crow, another black crow, black and red
It seems we were falling [Bm] on the water with the rock and [A] roll sin
[Bm] Time's hand, [D]
[B] [A]
[B] [Bm] time's [D]
[A]
[Bm] hand, time's hand
Ten again, ten another, [D] ten million
[B] Valley [Bm] of the rock and [A] roll fair
[Bm] Time's hand, ten again, ten another
Ten million, falling [B] in the valley of the rock and roll fair
[Bm] Time's [B] hand, ten again, ten another
Ten million, [D] falling in the valley [Bm] of the iron [B] gates fair
[Bm] Time's hand, ten again, ten again, [D] ten again
Ten again, ten again, ten again, ten again
Time's hand, ten again, ten another
Ten million, ten again, ten another
Rock and roll, rock and roll
