B            E        B            E
I've got the plow if you've got the furrow
B            E         A                B

I've got the big stick if you've Aunt Sally's head
     B        E         B         E
I've got the time if you've got the motion
    B         E            A                   B
Time is but clay and I'll see you and the wheel turn

Planets fall apart
C#               Cmaj7      Asus2        E
Just to feed the stars and stuff their larders
                 F#m          B     E
And what made me think we're any better
                 F#m          B      E
And what made me think we'd last forever
              A     E    F#
Was I so naive?
              F#7      Bsus4    B

Pyramids and palaces to dust
           E     D#    D
Empires crumbling

Wedding cake begins to must and molder
                 F#m          B     E
