[Verse]
D
The smart money's on Harlow
D
And the moon is in the street
GA7D
The shadow boys are breaking all the laws
GA7
And you're east of East Saint Louis
D
And the wind is making speeches
GA7
And the rain sounds like a round of applause
D
Napoleon is weeping
D
In the carnival saloon
GA7D
His invisible fiance's in the mirror
GA7
And the band is going home
D
It's raining hammers, it's raining nails
GA7
It's true there's nothing left for him down here
[Chorus]
DA7D
And it's time, time, time
GDA7
And it's time, time, time
DF#mGEm
And it's time, time, time, that you love
DA7D
And it's time, time, time
[Verse 2]
D
And they all pretend they're orphans
D
And their memory's like a train
GA7D
You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
GA7
And the things you can't remember
D
Tell the things you can't forget
GA7
That history puts a saint in every dream
D
Well she said she'd stick around
D
Until the bandages came off
GA7D
But these mama's boys just don't know when to quit
GA7
And Matilda asks the sailors
D
Are those dreams or are those prayers?
GA7
So close your eys, son and this won't hurt a bit
[Chorus]
DA7D
And it's time, time, time
GDA7
And it's time, time, time
DF#mGEm
And it's time, time, time, that you love
DA7D
And it's time, time, time
[Verse 3]
D
Well things are pretty lousy
D
For a calendar girl
GA7D
The boys just dive right off the cars and splash into the street
GA7
And when they're on a roll
D
She pulls a razor from her boot
GA7
And a thousand pigeons fall around her feet
D
So put a candle in the window
D
And a kiss upon his lips
GA7D
As the dish outside the window fills with rain
GA7
Just like a stranger
D
With the weeds in your heart
GA7
And pay the fiddler off 'till I come back again
[Chorus] x2
DA7D
And it's time, time, time
GDA7
And it's time, time, time
DF#mGEm
And it's time, time, time, that you love
DA7D
And it's time, time, time
