the melody notes on top of these chords.
Intro: Am (Am Asus)
Am G F - C/E - Am
The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst, out at you from their hiding place
Am G F - C/E - Am
Like acid and oil on a madman's face, his reason tends to fly away
F C F E
Like lesser birds on the four winds, like silver scrapes in May
Am G F - C/E - Am (Am Asus)
Now the sands become a crust, and most of you have gone away
Am G F - C/E - Am
Come Susy dear, let's take a walk, just out there upon the beach

I know you'll soon be married, and you want to know where the winds come from

Am-F G-Am Am-F G-Am Am - F
Hey, hey, hey, hey, four winds at the Four Winds Bar
G - Am Am - F
Two doors locked and windows barred, one door let to take you in

The other one just mirrors it

The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst, out at you from their hiding place

Miss Carrie Nurse and Suzy Dear, would find themselves at Four Winds Bar

Just the place to hopelessly, encounter time and then came me

Will surely prove a sight, and don't forget my dog, fixed and consequent
