Keeping Time Chords by Angie McMahon

Keeping Time chords by Angie McMahon

Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: C

Difficulty: Intermediate

Notes for beginner/intermediate players.
The whole song is based around E shaped barre chords.
F on the first, G on the third fret, Am on the 5th (obviously Em shape), C on the 8th.
When Angie McMahon plays it she doesn't barre across the whole fret,
just the bottom part and uses her thumb to fret the E-string which is why her fingering looks different.

Young girl, I'm tired

of your wishing and waiting

Always juggling something

I could not afford to

I wanna dance with them

And God, I want the time to stop
