In My Time On Earth chords by The Waterboys

intro:

Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Dm Dm/F G6

verse 1:

Cmaj7
Do you see that young pretender
Fmaj7
With the tear-marks on his face
Dm              G6
His dark eyes burning when he talks
Cmaj7
I knew him in his splendour
Fmaj7
I've known him in disgrace
Dm              G6
Who'll cut him down from this rock

pre-chorus:

Am
He says bring me my horses
Em7
My symbols and my wheels
     Fmaj7           Dm  G6
And we'll speak with our souls for a while
      Am
'Cause I'm sick and I'm torn
   Em7
And I long to be healed
    Fmaj7      Dm     G6  G6/C G6
And the truth's been too long out of style

chorus:

G6            Fmaj7
In my time on this earth
 C       G
I will speak the secret
          Fmaj7
In my time on earth
    C      G
I will tell what is true
          Fmaj7
In my time on earth
    C      G
I will say what the heart knows
          Fmaj7
In my time on earth
    C    G
I will say I am you

verse 2:

Cmaj7
I'm so tired of the sound
Fmaj7
My old fingers make
Dm               G6
As they tease and torment my guitar
Cmaj7
And the man on my screen
Fmaj7
Is an actor and a fake
Dm                G6
Yet he preens like a golden superstar

pre-chorus:

Am
I cried in her arms
     Em7
When the darkening day was done
   Fmaj7             Dm  G6
And I smelt the burning city in her hair
    Am
And the word on the tips
   Em7
Of a thousand million tongues
   Fmaj7
Went unspoken
    Dm      G6  G6/C G6
While a lie sped everywhere

chorus:

G6            Fmaj7
In my time on this earth
 C       G
I will speak the secret
          Fmaj7
In my time on earth
    C      G
I will tell what is true
          Fmaj7
In my time on earth
    C      G
I will say what the heart knows
          Fmaj7
In my time on earth
    C    G
I will say I am you

verse 3:

Cmaj7
Now November is here
Fmaj7
With its carpet of leaves
Dm                G6
And the songs of the dead fill my ears
Cmaj7
All the champions are fallen
Fmaj7
All the heroes are deceived
Dm                G6
And the world they made has disappeared

pre-chorus:

Am
So let's tell it like is, man
Em7
Let's nail it on the line
     Fmaj7                Dm G6
Let's be clean with our tongues from here on in
  Am
For we're deep in the heart
    Em7
Of the enemy's design
   Fmaj7      Dm      G6 G6/C G6
Just waiting for the breakout to begin

chorus:

G6            Fmaj7
In my time on this earth
 C       G
I will speak the secret
          Fmaj7
In my time on earth
    C      G
I will tell what is true
          Fmaj7
In my time on earth
    C      G
I will say what the heart knows
          Fmaj7
In my time on earth
    C    G
I will say I am you
          Fmaj7
In my time on earth
    C    G
I will say I am you
          Fmaj7
In my time on earth
    C    G
I will say I am you
