VERSE:
 D5                         F           C
See the bluebird flyin' easy as a dream

 Am7                            D5
Dippin' and bobbin' in the sun

 D5                        F              C
Could she be the one I saw so long ago

 Am7                                 D5
Could she be the one to take me home


      D5                      C
This pasture is green I'm walking in the sun

      Am                                   D5
It's turning brown I'm standing in the rain

    D5                      C
My overcoat is worn the pockets are all torn

     Am                      D5
I'm moving away from the pain


CHORUS:
C(v) D(vii)      Bb     C(v)     D(vii)
Tick tock    the clock  on   the wall
    F              C       D5
No wonder we're losin time


C(v) D(vii)   Bb  C(v)   D(vii)
Ring ring the old church bell
     F               C
The bride and her love

         G5               Bb(vi)         D5
Seeking guidance from above


SOLO with D5 improvisation

VERSE:
 D5                          F                C
Amber waves of grain bow in the prairie wind

     Am7                               D5
I'm hearin' Willie singing on the radio again

 D5                          F              C
That song from 911 keeps ringin in my head

      Am7                           D5
I'll always remember somethin' Chris Rock said


 D5                            C
Don't send more candles no matter what you do

      Am                                D5
Then Willie stopped singin' and the prairie wind blew

 D5                              C
The grain kept rollin on for miles and miles

 Am                               D5
Fields of fuel rollin' on for miles


CHORUS:
C(v) D(vii)      Bb    C(v)   D(vii)
Tick tock    the clock on the wall
    F      C               D5
No wonder we're losin time

C(v) D(vii)   Bb     C(v)    D(vii)
Torn torn the fallen soldier fell
     F                   C
The old church on the hill

       G5                       Bb(vi)         D5
Still standin' when so many fell


SOLO with D5 improvisation

VERSE:
 D5                           F                       C
Back when I was young the birds blocked out the sun

 Am7                            D5
Before the great migration stopped

 D5                         F                 C
We only shot a few they last the winter through

 Am7                                         D5
Mother cooked them good and served them up

 D5                          C
Somewhere a senator sits in a leather chair

    Am                  D5
Behind a big wooden desk

 D5                            C
The caribou he killed mean nothing to him

    Am                                  D5
He took his money just like all the rest


CHORUS:
C(v) D(vii)   Bb    C(v)   D(vii)
Tick tock the clock on the wall
    F              C       D5
No wonder we're losin' time

C(v) D(vii)  Bb       C(v)    D(vii)
Ring ring    ring the wedding bells
     F                 C
The bride takes the ring

         G5              Bb(vi)         D5
And the happy people sing
