VERSE:
D5 F C
See the bluebird flyin' easy as a dream
Am7 D5
dippin' and bobbin' in the sun
D5 F C
Could she be the one I saw so long ago
Am7 D5
could she be the one to take me home
D5 C
This pasture is green I'm walking in the sun
Am D5
It's turning brown I'm standing in the rain
D5 C
My overcoat is worn the pockets are all torn
Am D5
I'm moving away from the pain
CHORUS:
C(v) D(vii) Bb C(v) D(vii)
Tick tock the clock on the wall
F C D5
No wonder we're losin time
C(v) D(vii) Bb C(v) D(vii)
Ring ring the old church bell
F C
The bride and her love
G5 Bb(vi) D5
Seeking guidance from above
SOLO with D5 improvisation

VERSE:
D5 F C
Amber waves of grain bow in the prairie wind
Am7 D5
I'm hearin' Willie singing on the radio again
D5 F C
That song from 911 keeps ringin in my head
Am7 D5
I'll always remember somethin' Chris Rock said
D5 C
Don't send more candles no matter what you do
Am D5
Then Willie stopped singin' and the prairie wind blew
D5 C
The grain kept rollin on for miles and miles
Am D5
Fields of fuel rollin' on for miles
CHORUS:
C(v) D(vii) Bb C(v) D(vii)
Tick tock the clock on the wall
F C D5
No wonder we're losin time
C(v) D(vii) Bb C(v) D(vii)
Torn torn the fallen soldier fell
F C
The old church on the hill
G5 Bb(vi) D5
still standin' when so many fell
SOLO with D5 improvisation
VERSE:
D5 F C
Back when I was young the birds blocked out the sun
Am7 D5
Before the great migration stopped
D5 F C
We only shot a few they last the winter through
Am7 D5
Mother cooked them good and served them up
D5 C
Somewhere a senator sits in a leather chair
Am D5
Behind a big wooden desk
D5 C
The caribou he killed mean nothing to him
Am D5
He took his money just like all the rest
CHORUS:
C(v) D(vii) Bb C(v) D(vii)
Tick tock the clock on the wall
F C D5
No wonder we're losin' time
C(v) D(vii) Bb C(v) D(vii)
Ring ring ring the wedding bells
F C
The bride takes the ring
G5 Bb(vi) D5
And the happy people sing
