Intro:  D5 E5 F#5 G5  A5  D5 E5 F#5 G5 A5

D5             E5  F#5 G5
We can talk about it now
           A5
It's that same old riddle
Only starting from the middle
     D5            E5   F#5   G5
I'd fix it but I don't know how
                A5
Well, we could try to reason
But you might think it's treason

G5             F5
One voice for all
E5                 A5
Echoing along the hall
B5        B5    G5
Don't give up on father clock
A5            B5   C#5  D5   A5
We can talk about it  now

D5             E5  F#5  G5
Come, let me show you how
    A5
To keep the wheels turnin' you've got to
Keep the engine churnin'
     D5            E5 F#5 G5
But did you ever milk a cow
   A5
I had the chance one day
But I was all dressed up for Sunday

G5            F5
Everybody, everywhere
  E5           A5
Do you really care
 B5          B5       G5
Pick up your heads and walk
A5             B5 C#5  D5   G5
We can talk about it now

    C5                       E5
It seems to me we've been holding something
F5                  
Underneath our tongues
      C5                      E5
I'm afraid if you ever got a pat on the back
           F5                G5
It would likely burst your lungs

    A5          E5
Oh, stop me if I should sound
      A5            E5
Kinda down in the mouth
         A5                   E5
But I'd rather be burned in Canada
          A5         D5           A5  A
Than to freeze here in the south

D5             E5  F#5  G5
Pulling that eternal plough
              A5
We've got to find a sharper blade
Or have a new one made
D5                E5  F#5   G5       
Rest awhile and cool your brow
                      A5
Don't you see there's no need to slave
The whip is in the grave

G5             F5           
No salt, no trance
      E5                   A5
It's safe now to take a backward glance
             B5          B5      G5
Because the flames have turned to chalk
A5            B5  C#5  D5
We can talk about it now
A5            B5  C#5  D5
We can talk about it now
