Joan Baez – Time Is Passing Us By (Guitar)

    C       G          Am   C
The moon is low on the southland

    F                       C
The frogs are asleep on the lake

                  G                Am G
Did you know that tears run in rivulets

    Dm                    F
And hearts can repeatedly break?

    C        G           Am     C
And this may well be the last time

      F                         C
If my spirits don't pick up and fly

C
For though it's sad

   Am          F
It may well be true

         Dm      G          C Am7  C   Am7
That our time is passing us by

  C          G        Am          C
Occasionally you have called for me

F                       C
I've always tried to be there

                           Am
But it seemed whenever my train pulled in

Dm                   F
You never did really care

        C                    Am C
And the only thing I could decipher

         F                     C
From the corner of your roving eye

C
Was that you and I

         Am            F
Were the first ones to know

         Dm       G          C
That our time was passing us by

      C                        Am    C
Well, it was fun for the first few years

        F             C
Playing Legend In Our Time

                                   Am
And there were those who discussed the fact

        Dm                   F
That we drifted apart in our prime

       C           G           Am C
And we haven't got too much in common

  F                        C
Except that we're so much alike

                  G
And I hate it for though

             Am       F
You're a big part of me

        Dm      G          C Am  C  G  Am
But our time is passing us by

   C         G          Am       C
So I can sit here in my silver chair

F                          C
You can stay there on your gold

                             Am
You can say you've got commitments

    Dm                    F
And I can say I'm growing old

    C                     Am    G
And I can get up and make comments

       F                    C
On the color of the evening sky

C
But our ships have come home

        Am              F
And the night's rolling in

        Dm      G          C Am
And our time is passing us by

    C            G
But cast us adrift

    Am          F
And cross a few stars

    Dm       G            C
And I'm good for one more try
