Goin' Back : Comes a Time : Neil Young

In a foreign land there were creatures at play
Running hand in hand needing nowhere to stay
Driven to the mountains high
They were sunken in the cities deep
Living in my sleep.

I feel like going back
Back where there's nowhere to stay;
When fire filled the sky
I still remember that day.

These ricks I'm climbing down
Have already left the ground
Careening through space.

I used to build these buildings
I used to walk next to you
Their shadows tore us apart
And now we do what we do
Driven to the mountain hugh
Sunken in the cities deep
Living in our sleep

I feel like going back
Back where there's nowhere to stay

Comes a Time : Comes a Time : Neil Young

Intro: G Bm D C G
 
G            Bm
Comes a time when you're drifting 
 
D                     C      G     C G
Comes a time when you settle down
 
G              Bm
Comes a life - feelings lifting
 
D                       C       G        C G
Lift that baby right up off the ground.
 
G    F        C            G
Oh - this old world keeps spinning round
 
       F           C             G
It's a wonder tall trees aren't laying down
 
               Dm             G
There comes a time - comes a time
 
        Dm	G
Comes a time.
 
 
 
You and I - we were captured
We took our souls and we flew away
We were young - we were giving
That's how we kept what we gave away.
 
Oh - this old world keeps spinning round
Its a wonder tall trees ain't laying down
There comes a time - comes a time
Comes a time.
 
Oh - this old world keeps spinning round
Its a wonder tall trees ain't laying down
There comes a time - comes a time
Comes a time.

Look out for my Love : Comes a Time : Neil Young

E		       D
There's a lot to learn
A		D
For wastin' time
E		       D
There's a heart that burns
A		D
There's an open mind
Bm		G
Look out for my love  (x4)
E
You own it

E
You own it now
E
You own it
E		D (etc. as above)
There's a weight on you
But you can't feel it
Livin' likeI do
It's hard to see it
Was I hunt too bad?
Can I show you day light?
How cuold you be sad
When I know that you might
Look out for my love (x4)
Em7
It's in your neighbourhood
Am
I know things are gonna change
      G
But I can't say good or bad

Silver wings of mornings
Shining in the grey day
While the ice is forming
On a lonely runway
Hydraulic wipers pumping
Till the window glistens
Something saying something
But no one seems to listen
Men wear walkie-talkies
And with flash-lights waving
Up upon the tower
Time reads daylight sailing
I'm hoem again to yo babe
You know it makes me wonder
Sittin' in the quiet slipstream
In the thunder
Look out for my love (x7)

Peace of Mind : Comes a Time : Neil Young

You know it takes a long long time
You know it takes a long long time
You love her so and still you know
That you will never want to let her go
Unless you leave her first
Then you come out on top
But still there's just one thing
You haven't got -
Peace of mind - like when you treated her kind
It's hard to find that open space

You know it takes a long long time
You know it takes a long long time
Whne first you gave and shared your soul
Shouldered all these things that take their toll
She knows your weak spot but she still got you hot
And so you do it again reveal the lines within
And go for peace of mind
Like when you treated her kind
It's hard to find that open space

I'm looking for peace of mind
Anywhere I can find
Still seeking for peace of mind
You know it takes a long long time

Lotta Love : Comes a Time : Neil Young

la la la la la la la la la ooooh ooh
It's gonna take a lotta love
To change the way things are
It's gonna take a lotta love
Or we won't get too far
So if you look in my direction
And we don't see eye to eye
My heart needs protection
And so do I.

It's gonna take a lotta love
To get us through the night
It's gonna take a lotta love
To make things work out right
So if you are out there waitin'
I hope you show up soon
'Cause my head needs relating
Not solitude

Got a lotta love oh-yeah got a lotta love
la la la la la la la la la ooooh ooh
It's gonna take a lotta love
To change the way things are
It's gonna take a lotta love

Four Strong Winds : Comes a Time: Neil Young

Think I'll go out to Alberta
Weather's good there in the fall
I got some friends that I can go workign for
Yet I wished you'd change your mind
If I asked you one more time
But we've been through that a hundred times before

If I get there before the snow flies
And if things are lookign good
You could meet me if I sent you down the fare
But by then it would be winter
Not too much for you to do
And those winds sure can blow cold downthere

Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All these things that don't change come what may
But our good times are all gone
And so I'm bound for moving in
I'll look for you if I'm ever back that way

Think I'll go out to Alberta
Weather's good there in the fall
I got some friends that I can go workign for
Yet I wished you'd change your mind
If I asked you one more time
But we've been through that a hundred times before

Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All these things that don't change come what may
But our good times are all gone
And so I'm bound for moving in
I'll look for you if I'm ever back that way (x7)

Already One : Comes a Time : Neil Young

What can I do? What can I say?
Running down the suspicious highway
I can't forget how love let me down
And when we meet it still gets in my way

But we're already one, already one
Now only time can come between us
'Cause we're already one, our little son
Won't let us forget

Your laughin' eyes your crazy smile
Every time I look in his face
I can't beleive ho wlove lasts a while
And looks like forever in the first place

But we're already one, already one
Now only time can come between us
'Cause we're already one, our little son
Won't let us forget

In my new life I'm travellin' light
With eyes wide open for the next move
Ican't go wrong till i get right
But I'm not fallin' back in the same groove

But we're already one, already one
Now only time can come between us
'Cause we're already one, our little son
Won't let us forget

Human Highway : Comes a Time : Neil Young

I come down from the misty mountain
I got lost in the human highway
Take my head refreshing fountain
Take my eyes from what they've seen
Take my head and change my mind
How could people gt so unkind?

I come down from the crowded mansion
i went lookin' for the D.J's daughter
Since that day I heard it mentioned
That my name is on the line
Now take my head and change my mind
How could people get so unkind?
Now take my head and change my mind
How could people get so unkind?

I come down from the misty mountain
I got lost in the human highway
Take my head refreshing fountain
Take my eyes from what they've seen
Take my head and change my mind
How could people gt so unkind?

Field of Opportunity : Comes a Time : Neil Young

I've been wrong before I'll be there again
I don't have any answers my friend
Just this pile of old questions
My memory left me here
In the field of opportunity
I'm goin' back to my home
But I'm not goin' now
It's too early to be leavin' here somehow
Let me bore you with this story
How my lover let me down
Well I'll borrow seeds of sadness from the ground

In the field of opportunity 
It's ploughin' time again
There ain't no way of teeling
Where the seeds will rise and when
I'll just wait around till springtime
And then I'll find a friend
In the field of opportunity 
It's ploughin' time again

When I'm all done cultivatin'
I'll be rockin' in my porch
Tryin' to picture you
And where you are
There'll be no hesitatin'
When cupid lights his torch
With these headlights 
Comin' down the hill
Between the stars

In the field of opportunity 
It's ploughin' time again
There ain't no way of teeling
Where the seeds will rise and when
I'll just wait around till springtime
And then I'll find a friend
In the field of opportunity 
It's ploughin' time again
