Bm               F#
Play me old king cole

E                    F#
That I may join with you,

          A                  D
All your hearts now seem so far from me

                   A
It hardly seems to matter now.

Bm                          F#
And the nurse will tell you lies

      E                  F#
Of a kingdom beyond the skies.

          A                 D
But I am lost within this half-world,

                    A
It hardly seems to matter now.

E
Play me my song.

F#
Here it comes again.

E
Play me my song.

F#
Here it comes again.

Just a little bit,
Just a little bit more time, Time left to live out my life.

Play me my song.

Here it comes again.

F#m                 B
Old king cole was a merry old soul,

       D               F#m
And a merry old soul was he.
So he called for his pipe,
       B
And he called for his bowl,

       D                       F#m
And he called for his fiddlers three.

F#m                 E
But the clock, tick-tock,

         D
On the mantlepiece -
And I want, and I feel, and I know, and I touch,
E    F#
Her warmth...
E F# x4 E D F# E F# x4 E D F#
D#m                  
Shes a lady, shes got time,

F#                     E                          F#  
Brush back your hair, and let me get to know your face.

D#m                     
Shes a lady, she is mine.

F#                      E                         F#
Brush back your hair, and let me get to know your flesh.
F# B C# F# B C#
F#       D#m     Bbm       G#m         
Ive been waiting here for so long

             F#
And all this time has passed me by

B                          F#
It doesnt seem to matter now

F# B               C#                 F#      B C# 
   You stand there with your fixed expression

F#      D#m            Bbm      G#m
Casting doubt on all I have to say.

             F#           E F# 
Why dont you touch me, touch me,

E    F#   E         F# E F# E F# 
Why dont you touch me, touch me,

         B      ( E F# E B E F#     E F# E B E B ) - repeat several times
Touch me now, now, now, now, now...
E F# E B E B B C# F#
B C# F#
F# C# F# C# x4 --- [very fast]
F# C# F# F# C# F# -------------------------------------------------------- [I recommend to play the last part like that, otherwise the fast part wouldn't be playable:]
E  - 7-7-9-9-9-7
F# - 9-9-11-11-11-9
B  - 7-9-9-8-7-7
C# - 9-11-11-10-9-9
But the last F# chord play on 2-4-4-3-2-2, but I think it's obvious ;) Anyway this is one of my favourite Genesis songs, I know that my work is not 100% correct, but makes it able to play and sing at once, I hope you'll enjoy as much as I do, Wiktor Lublin, Poland 21.08.08
