We Can Talk chords by The Band

D       Em F#m G
We can talk about it now
      A
It's that same old riddle
Only starting from the middle
   D      Em  F#m  G
I'd fix it but I don't know how
        A
Well, we could try to reason
But you might think it's treason

G       F
One voice for all
E7         A
Echoing along the hall
Bm    Bm/A  G
Don't give up on father clock
A      Bm  C#m D  A7
We can talk about it now

D       Em F#m G
Come, let me show you how
  A
To keep the wheels turnin' you've got to
Keep the engine churnin'
   D      Em F#m G
But did you ever milk a cow
  A
I had the chance one day
But I was all dressed up for Sunday

G      F
Everybody, everywhere
 E7      A
Do you really care
 Bm     Bm/A    G
Pick up your heads and walk
A       Bm C#m D  G7
We can talk about it now

  C            E7
It seems to me we've been holding something
F
Underneath our tongues
   C           E7
I'm afraid if you ever got a pat on the back
      F        G
It would likely burst your lungs

  A     E
Oh, stop me if I should sound
   A      E
Kinda down in the mouth
     A          E
But I'd rather be burned in Canada
     A     D      A A/C#
Than to freeze here in the south

D       Em F#m G
Pulling that eternal plough
       A
We've got to find a sharper blade
Or have a new one made
D        Em F#m  G
Rest awhile and cool your brow
           A
Don't you see there's no need to slave
The whip is in the grave

G       F
No salt, no trance
   E7          A
It's safe now to take a backward glance
       Bm     Bm/A   G
Because the flames have turned to chalk
A      Bm C#m D
We can talk about it now
A      Bm C#m D
We can talk about it now
