We can talk about it now
           AIt's (x02220@1)that same old riddle
Only starting from the middle
     D (xx0232@1)          Em (022000@1) F#m (244222@1) GI'd (320003@1)fix it but I don't know how
                AWell, (x02220@1)we could try to reason
But you might think it's treason

G (320003@1)           FOne (133211@1)voice for all
E7 (020130@1)               AEchoing (x02220@1)along the hall
Bm (x24432@1)      Bm/A (x04440@1)  GDon't (320003@1)give up on father clock
A (x02220@1)          Bm (x24432@1) C#m (x13321@4)D (xx0232@1) A7We (x02020@1)can talk about it  now

D (xx0232@1)           Em (022000@1)F#m (244222@1)GCome, (320003@1)let me show you how
    ATo (x02220@1)keep the wheels turnin' you've got to
Keep the engine churnin'
     D (xx0232@1)          Em (022000@1)name="chord_244222@1">F#m GBut (320003@1)did you ever milk a cow
   AI (x02220@1)had the chance one day
But I was all dressed up for Sunday

G (320003@1)          FEverybody, (133211@1)everywhere
  E7 (020130@1)         ADo (x02220@1)you really care
 Bm (x24432@1)        Bm/A (x04440@1)     GPick (320003@1)up your heads and walk
A (x02220@1)           Bm (x24432@1)name="chord_x13321@4">C#m  D (xx0232@1) G7We (320001@1)can talk about it now

C (x32010@1)                     E7It (020130@1)seems to me we've been holding something
F (133211@1)                
Underneath our tongues
      C (x32010@1)                    E7I'm (020130@1)afraid if you ever got a pat on the back
           F (133211@1)              GIt (320003@1)would likely burst your lungs

A (x02220@1)        EOh, (022100@1)stop me if I should sound
      A (x02220@1)          EKinda (022100@1)down in the mouth
         A (x02220@1)                 EBut (022100@1)I'd rather be burned in Canada
          A (x02220@1)       D (xx0232@1)         A (x02220@1)A/C#Than (042220@1)to freeze here in the south

D (xx0232@1)           Em (022000@1)F#m (244222@1)GPulling (320003@1)that eternal plough
              AWe've (x02220@1)got to find a sharper blade
Or have a new one made
D (xx0232@1)              Em (022000@1)F#m (244222@1) G (320003@1)     
Rest awhile and cool your brow
                      ADon't (x02220@1)you see there's no need to slave
The whip is in the grave

G (320003@1)           F (133211@1)         
No salt, no trance
      E7 (020130@1)                 AIt's (x02220@1)safe now to take a backward glance
             Bm (x24432@1)        Bm/A (x04440@1)    GBecause (320003@1)the flames have turned to chalk
A (x02220@1)          Bm (x24432@1)C#m (x13321@4)DWe (xx0232@1)can talk about it now
A (x02220@1)          Bm (x24432@1)C#m (x13321@4)DWe (xx0232@1)can talk about it now
