• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: G+G

♫ Intro:

G+G



♫ Verse 1:
G+G                 E minorEm
I'm just sitting counting all the cobwebs
  A minorAm                D MajorD
And wondering just when you'll come along
  FF                E minorEm
You said that you'd be here an hour ago
    A minorAm          D MajorD
But an hour ago is hours ago from then

♫ Chorus:
G+G  A augmentedA   C majorC         G+G
No, and I don't know what to do
  C majorC              G+G
I'm drawing crazy patterns on my shoe
    C majorC      G+G     A minorAm    D MajorD C majorC
And the sand in the hourglass slips on by


♫ Verse 2:
G+G            E minorEm
Light another cigarette, watch the burning glow
     A minorAm           C majorC       D MajorD
Catching spiders in my hand, and then I let it go
FF               E minorEm
Imagine pictures on the wall, watch the insects where they crawl
A minorAm                 D MajorD
They don't care about you and I've nothing to do


♫ Chorus:
G+G  A augmentedA   C majorC         G+G
No, and I don't know what to do
  C majorC              G+G
I'm drawing crazy patterns on my shoe
    C majorC      G+G     A minorAm    D MajorD D7D7
And the sand in the hourglass slips on by


♫ Verse 3:
G+G          E minorEm
Maybe the bus didn't get there on time
FF            G+G          E minorEm
Maybe the train doesn't run on that line for some reason
    G+G     C majorC
And she might not come
 G+G                 D MajorD
Because she doesn't want to see you again
FF   C majorC         G+G
No no no, that can't be true
A augmentedA            D MajorD
And I've got nothing to do


♫ Chorus:
G+G  A augmentedA    C majorC     G+G
No
I've got nothing to do
  C majorC              G+G
I'm drawing crazy patterns on my shoe
    C majorC      G+G     A minorAm  C majorC D MajorD
And the sand in the hourglass slips on by
