D
The smart money's on Harlow
D
And the moon is in the street
G A7 D
The shadow boys are breaking all the laws
G A7
And you're east of East Saint Louis
D
And the wind is making speeches
G A7
And the rain sounds like a round of applause
D
Napoleon is weeping
D
In the carnival saloon
G A7 D
His invisible fiance's in the mirror
G A7
And the band is going home
D
It's raining hammers, it's raining nails
G A7
It's true there's nothing left for him down here
D A7 D
And it's time, time, time
G D A7
And it's time, time, time
D F#m G Em
And it's time, time, time, that you love
D A7 D
And it's time, time, time
D
And they all pretend they're orphans
D
And their memory's like a train
G A7 D
You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
G A7
And the things you can't remember
D
Tell the things you can't forget
G A7
That history puts a saint in every dream
D
Well she said she'd stick around
D
Until the bandages came off
G A7 D
But these mama's boys just don't know when to quit
G A7
And Matilda asks the sailors
D
Are those dreams or are those prayers?
G A7
So close your eys, son and this won't hurt a bit
D A7 D
And it's time, time, time
G D A7
And it's time, time, time
D F#m G Em
And it's time, time, time, that you love
D A7 D
And it's time, time, time
D
Well things are pretty lousy
D
For a calendar girl
G A7 D
The boys just dive right off the cars and into the street
G A7
And when they're on a roll
D
She pulls a razor from her boot
G A7
And a thousand pigeons fall around her feet
D
So put a candle in the window
D
And a kiss upon his lips
G A7 D
As the dish outside the window fills with rain
G A7
Just like a stranger
D
With the weeds in your heart
G A7
And pay the fiddler off 'till I come back again
D A7 D
And it's time, time, time
G D A7
And it's time, time, time
D F#m G Em
And it's time, time, time, that you love
D A7 D
