Capo 2 (Glenn Richards does like that capo 2)
Standard Tuning
INTRO
G--Em--G--Em--G--Em--C--Am-Em-
G Em
At ten o'clock is when I rise from my grave
G Em
And cast my eyes over the ideas that I couldn't save
G Em
Become regret and break upon me now wave after wave
C Am Em
Bid me remember what I done
G Em
A strange appeal is in the magazine zodiac
G Em
What inspiration are the women of the dog track
G Em
Now there's a wheel and there's a well and there's a big rack
C Am Em
The perfumed killers from the north
C Am Em
Collect each Saturday to brood and sally forth
C Em
I don't know enough to know not to show it
C Em
Or tell it like I know more
C Em
I'm sorry, baby, but your roving poet's
C Am Em
Just a bank balance troubadour
C Am Em
Who can't sing the song anymore
C----Em----C----Em----
G Em
At ten o'clock is when you open up your apple eyes
G Em
And drink a cup into the one of earth the other skies
G Em
And out your mouth a tiny burst of tiny baby cries
C Am Em
Oh where, oh where, oh where did you get into to?
G Em
A strange appeal unto a pocket where a body lay
G Em
I saw a dream of such a couple only yesterday
G Em
When the one did leave the other went to war Enola Gay
C Am Em
She had a halo, was a heroine
C Am Em
She had a halo, was a heroine
C Em
Well, I know I'm not loathe to show it
C Em
I smile like a bandsaw
C Em
I'm sorry, darling, but your roving poet's
C Am Em
Just a footloose man-whore
C Am Em
Who can't talk the talk anymore
C Em
We're just passing through
C Em
Just passing through
G Em
At ten o'clock is when I rise from my grave
G Em
And cast my eyes over the ideas that I couldn't save
G Em
Become regret and break upon me now wave after wave
C Am Em
Bid me remember what I done
G Em
When time doesn't tear you pay a fee to make it rip
G Em
The ditch witch, the back hoe, the bobcat, the tip
G Em
Soil from the hillock spilling over on that solemn lip
C Am Em
It covers up the cedar mirror
C Am Em
Do you ever see your weakness any clearer?
C Em
We were winding up the road to the site
C Em
With the windows down and the cigarettes alight
C Em
Singing some rubbish about, "My soul's alright"
C Am Em
I didn't know what I could do
[repeat x2]
C Am Em
It's just you and I, some other guy, forever passing through.
C Em
We're just passing through
(Like a gall stone)
C Em
Just passing through
(Like a rat through a snake)
C Em
Just passing through
(Little rubbish through a rake)
C Em
Just passing through
D--C--
[Incomprehensible]
C--Em-- [repeat as necessary]
