Intro:

I The Solid Time Of Change

Verse 1:
A minorAm                              A augmentedA
A majorA seasoned witch could call you from the depths of your disgrace
A minorAm                        A augmentedA
And rearrange your liver to the solid mental grace
A minorAm                         A augmentedA
And achieve it all with music that came quickly from afar
A minorAm                              G minorGm
Then taste the fruit of man recorded losing all against the hour
A minorAm                          A augmentedA
And assessing points to nowhere, leading every single one
A minorAm                      A augmentedA
A majorA dewdrop can exalt us like the music of the sun
A minorAm
And take away the plain in which we move
           G minorGm
And choose the course you're running
E minorEm     D MajorD    G+G      F#M
Down at the edge, round by the corner
BB        B minorBm
Not right away, not right away
E minorEm     D MajorD    G+G      F#M
Close to the edge, down by a river
BB        B minorBm
Not right away, not right away

FF              C majorC
Crossed the line around the changes of the summer
FF              C majorC
Reaching out to call the color of the sky
FF              C majorC
Passed around a moment clothed in mornings faster than we see
FF              C majorC
Getting over all the time I had to worry
FF              C majorC
Leaving all the changes far from far behind
FF              C majorC
We relieve the tension only to find out the master's name
E minorEm     D MajorD    G+G      F#M
Down at the end, round by the corner
E minorEm     D MajorD    G+G      F#M  E minorEm
Close to the edge, just by a river
C majorC      D MajorD  G+G
Seasons will pass you by
D MajorD    G+G     B minorBm
I get up, I get down
 FF        C majorC
Now that it's all over and done
FF         C majorC
Now that you find, now that you're whole

II Total Mass Retain
A minorAm                                A augmentedA
My eyes convinced, eclipsed with the younger moon attained with love
A minorAm                             A augmentedA
It changed as almost strained amidst clear manna from above
A minorAm                        A augmentedA
I crucified my hate and held the word within my hand
A minorAm                                G minorGm
There's you, the time, the logic, or the reasons we don't understand
A minorAm                             A augmentedA
Sad courage claimed the victims standing still for all to see
A minorAm                          A augmentedA
As armoured movers took approached to overlook the sea
A minorAm                                G minorGm
There since the cord, the license, or the reasons we understood will be
E minorEm  DmDm  A minorAm
E minorEm              F# minorF#m
Down at the edge, close by a river
E minorEm              F# minorF#m
Close to the edge, round by the corner
E minorEm  DmDm  A minorAm
E minorEm              F# minorF#m
Close to the end, down by the corner
E minorEm              F# minorF#m
Down at the edge, round by the river
 E minorEm  DmDm A minorAm E minorEm F# minorF#m
FF              C majorC
Sudden problems shouldn't take away the startled memory
FF            C majorC
All in all, the journey takes you all the way
FF                C majorC
As apart from any reality that you've ever seen and known
FF              C majorC
Guessing problems only to deceive the mention
FF                C majorC
Passing paths that climb halfway into the void
FF                C majorC
As we cross from side to side, we hear the total mass retain
E minorEm     D MajorD    G+G      F#M
Down at the edge, round by the corner
E minorEm     D MajorD    G+G      F#M
Close to the end, down by a river
C majorC      D MajorD  G+G
Seasons will pass you by
D MajorD    G+G     B minorBm
I get up, I get down

III I Get Up, I Get Down

G# minorG#m        B minorBm            F# minorF#m
In her white lace, you could clearly see the lady sadly looking
A minorAm
Saying that she'd take the blame
    BB
For the crucifixion of her own domain
EMaj7Emaj7     C# minorC#m
I get up, I get down
EMaj7Emaj7     C# minorC#m
I get up, I get down
G# minorG#m        B minorBm
Two million people barely satisfy
F# minorF#m             A minorAm      BB
Two hundred women watch one woman cry, too late
G# minorG#m        B minorBm
The eyes of honesty can achieve
F# minorF#m         A minorAm       BB
How many millions do we deceive each day?
EMaj7Emaj7     C# minorC#m
I get up, I get down
EMaj7Emaj7     C# minorC#m
I get up, I get down
G# minorG#m        B minorBm
In charge of who is there in charge of me
F# minorF#m         A minorAm       BB
Do I look on blindly and say I see the way?
G# minorG#m        B minorBm
The truth is written all along the page
F# minorF#m         A minorAm       BB
How old will I be before I come of age for you?
EMaj7Emaj7     C# minorC#m
I get up, I get down
EMaj7Emaj7     C# minorC#m
I get up, I get down
EMaj7Emaj7     C# minorC#m
I get up, I get down


IV Seasons Of Man

A minorAm                           A augmentedA
The time between the notes relates the color to the scenes
A minorAm                     A augmentedA
A majorA constant vogue of triumphs dislocate man, it seems
A minorAm                           A augmentedA
And space between the focus shape ascend knowledge of love
A minorAm                           G minorGm
As song and chance develop time, lost social temp'rance rules above
E minorEm       F# minorF#m
Ah, ah
A minorAm                           A augmentedA
Then according to the man who showed his outstretched arm to space
A minorAm                           A augmentedA
He turned around and pointed, revealing all the human race
A minorAm                           G minorGm
I shook my head and smiled a whisper, knowing all about the place
FF           C majorC
On the hill we viewed the silence of the valley
FF           C majorC
Called to witness cycles only of the past
FF                   C majorC
And we reach all this with movements in between the said remark

E minorEm     D MajorD    G+G      F#M
Down at the edge, round by the corner
E minorEm     D MajorD    G+G      F#M
Close to the end, down by a river
C majorC      D MajorD  G+G
Seasons will pass you by
E minorEm          F# minorF#m
Now that it's all over and done
E minorEm          F# minorF#m
Called to the seed, right to the sun
E minorEm          F# minorF#m
Now that you find, now that you're whole

C majorC      D MajorD  G+G
Seasons will pass you by
D MajorD    G+G     B minorBm
I get up, I get down
D MajorD    G+G     B minorBm
I get up, I get down
D MajorD    G+G     B minorBm
I get up, I get down
D MajorD    G+G
I get up
