This is a great song by a great band. It generally consists of three simple chord progressions throughout.


Verse 1: (Opens without guitar)

Its coming round again
The slowly creeping hand
Of time and its command
                  A5
Soon enough it comes 
                    F#5
And settles in its place
                    E5
Its shadow in my face
                     D5     D5    
Puts pressure in my day


Chorus:
A5       E5            F#5                   D5     E5 (hold)
  This life well its slipping right through my hands
A5       E5               F#5          D5     E5     
  These days turned out nothing like I had planned

Verse 2:

Its coming round again
The slowly creeping hand
Of time and its demands
It settles in its place
Its shadow in my face
Puts pressure in my day
                A5
Soon enough it comes 
            F#5  
Here it is again
                     E5
The slowly creeping hand
                    D5
Of time and its command
                 A5
Soon enough it comes
                   

                    F#5
And settles in its place
                   E5
Its shadow in my face

                  D5    D5
Undignified and lame

Chorus: Play through twice, same chords as last chorus

Solo: D5 , F#5 , A5 , E5 (play three times) 
    
D5     F#5            A5      E5       B5 (Hold)  D5      
   Soon enough it comes to tie us down??

Oohhh its coming round again
                                E5    D5    D5
The slow, the slowly creeping hand??  (back to chorus)
