Well the smart money's on [A] Harlow [E] and the moon is in the street
[G#] And [A] the shadow boys [B] are breaking up
[E]
[A] And you're east of the [B] St.
Louis yellow wind
[E]
[G#m] And [A] the rain sounds [B] like a rattle
[B]
[E] And Napoleon is weeping in his carnival saloon
[A] He's invisible [B] for y'all, he's in [E] the mirror
[B] And the band is going home, it's raining [E] hammers, it's raining nails
[G#m] And [B] it's true there's nothing left for it down here
It [E] is time, [B]
time, [E] time
[B] It's time, [A#]
time, time
[B] It [E] is time, time, that [A] you love
It [E] is time, [B] time, [E] time
[B]
[E] [B] [E] And they all pretend [A] they're orphans
And their memory's like a train
[B] You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
[F#m] The [A] things you can't [B] remember tells the things [E] you can't forget
That history puts a saint in every dream
[A] [B] [E] Well she said she'd stick around till the bandages come off
But these [A] mama's boys just don't know [E] when to quit
[F#m] And Motel de Oss the sailors are those [E] dreams
Close your eyes son [A] and it [B] won't hurt [B] a bit
It [E] is time, time, [E] time
It's [A] time, [F#] [E]
[B] it is time
[F#m] [E]
[A] Time that you love
[E] It is [B] time, time, [E] time
[C#m]
[E] Well things are pretty lousy for [E] a calendar girl
The [A] boys just start right off the [B] cars and splash into [E] the street
[G#m] And [A] when they're on a [B] road she pulls [E] a razor from her boot
[F#] And a [A] thousand pigeons fall around [B] her feet
[A] [B] So [E] puts a candle in the [A] window and a kiss upon his lips
And outside the [B] window fills [E] with rain
[A] Just like [B] a stranger [E] with a weight in your heart
[G#m] And [A] pay the fiddler off till [B] I come back again
[E] It is time, [B]
[E] [A]
[F#] [E] [B]
[E] time,
[F#] time
That you love
[F#m] It [E] is time, [B] [E] time,
[B] time
[B] [E]
