[Intro]
| E | % | % | % |
[Verse 1]
E
And the smart money's on Harlow
E
And the moon is in the street
A B7 E
The shadow boys are breaking all the laws
A
And you're east of East Saint Louis
E
And the wind is making speeches
F#m7 B7
And the rain sounds like a round of applause
[Verse 2]
E
And Napoleon is weeping
E
In the carnival saloon
A B7 E
His invisible fiance's in the mirror
A
And the band is going home
E
It's raining hammers, it's raining nails
F#m7 B7
It's true there's nothing left for him down here
[Chorus]
E B7 E
And it's time, time, time
A E/G# E Bsus4
And it's time, time, time
E E7/G# A F#m7
And it's time, time, time, that you love
E B7 | E | % |
And it's time, time, time
[Verse 3]
E
And they all pretend they're orphans
E
And their memory's like a train
A B7 E
You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
A
And the things you can't remember
E
Tell the things you can't forget
F#m7 B7
That history puts a saint in every dream
[Verse 4]
E
Well, she said she'd stick around
E
Until the bandages came off
A B7 E
But these mama's boys just don't know when to quit
A
And Matilda asks the sailors
E
Are those dreams or are those prayers?
F#m7 B7
So close your eyes, son, and this won't hurt a bit
[Chorus]
E B7 E
And it's time, time, time
A E/G# E Bsus4
And it's time, time, time
E E7/G# A F#m7
And it's time, time, time, that you love
E B7 | E | % | % | % |
And it's time, time, time
[Verse 3]
E
Well, things are pretty lousy
E
For a calendar girl
A B7 E
The boys just dive right off the cars and splash into the street
A
And when they're on a roll
E
She pulls a razor from her boot
F#m7 B7
And a thousand pigeons fall around her feet
[Verse 4]
E
So put a candle in the window
E
And a kiss upon his lips
A B7 E
As the dish outside the window fills with rain
A
Just like a stranger
E
With the weeds in your heart
F#m7 B7
And pay the fiddler off till I come back again
[Chorus]
E B7 E
And it's time, time, time
A E/G# E Bsus4
And it's time, time, time
E E7/G# A F#m7
And it's time, time, time, that you love
E B7 E
And it's time, time, time
