Verse 1:
B7addE [as per intro]
Where are you walking, I've seen you walking
Have you been there before? [cello: A -> F#]
Walk down your doorsteps, you'll take some more steps
What did you take them for?
A G6 [A: x77650 G6: x55430]
There's a private in my boat and he wears
D C E
Pins instead of medals on his coat
A G6
There's a chicken in my nest and she won't
D C E
Lay until I've given her my best
B7
At her request she asks for nothing
E
You get nothing in return
B7
If you want she brings you water
E B
If you don't then you will burn
[repeat intro riff, 4X w/bass each time]
Verse 2:
You go through changes, it may seem strange
Is this what you're put here for?
You think you're happy and you are happy
That's what you're happy for
There's a man who can't decide if he should
Fight for what his father thinks is right
There are people wearing frowns who'll screw you up
But they would rather screw you down
At my request I ask for nothing
You get nothing in return
If you're nice she'll bring me water
If you're not then I will burn
[repeat intro]
String break [2X]:

--- Part II (2:20) ---
Horn break:

Verse 1:
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
This is the time and life that I am living
E G
And I'll face each day with a smile
D G
For the time that I've been given's such a little while
D G
And the things that I must do consist of more than style
Fmaj7 Am G
[1: There are places that I am going
4: There'll be time for you to start all over]
Verse 2:
This is the only thing that I am sure of
And that's all that lives is gonna die
And there'll always be some people here to wonder why
And for every happy hello, there will be good-bye
There'll be time for you to put yourself on
[repeat horn break]
Verse 3:
Everything I've seen needs rearranging
And for anyone who thinks it's strange
Then you should be the first to want to make this change
And for everyone who thinks that life is just a game
Do you like the part you're playing
Bridge (4:03):
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 [2X]
/ / / / / / / /
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
I see your picture
E Am
It's in the same old frame
D G
We meet again
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 [2X]
/ / / / / / / /
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
You look so lovely
E Am
You with the same old smile
D G
Stay for a while
B E
I need you so, oh, oh, oh, oh
C7
And if you take it easy
Fmaj7
I'm still teethin'
D
I wanna love you, but
[N.C.]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 [2X]
/ / / / / / / /
Fmaj7 Am G
/ / / /
[repeat verse 1]
Coda (5:51):
Fmaj7
This is the time and this is the time and
C E G
It is time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time...
Horns [repeat to fade]:
