Chords

This song has a very complex rhythm structure: The first part is set into a jazzy 5/4 time signature, into 4/4 and then back again into a 5/4 timing. The beautiful Richard-Thompson-solo is set into 4/4 time and then changes into a 6/4 timing, as soon the dulcimer comes in. (5/4) [Intro] Dm Gm
     Dm                       Gm
You must philosophise,

      Bb                   Am             Gm
But why must you bore my to tears?

            Dm                        Gm
You´re red around the eyes,

       Bb                  Am             Gm
You tell me things no one else hears

       Dm                          Gm
You spend all your time crying,

Bb             Am           Gm
Crying the hours into tears,

Bb              Am          Gm
Crying the hours into tears

Bb  Cm  F
(do some picking)
(4/4)
        Gm
Come lend your time to me,

                    Cm               F
And you will know that you are free

       Gm
And when you look at me

                               Cm        F
Don´t think you´re owning what you see,

       Gm
For remember that you´re free,

                         Cm
And that´s what you want to be,

     Gm
So just lend your time to me
[Solo] Bb Dm Gm Dm Gm
(6/4) Bb  Am  Gm   Bb  Am  Gm
(accompanied by dulcimer)
Then play the first part (without the Intro) again, until the first change of timing.
