By: Son Volt [Intro] A E B x2
E                          A
There will be droughts and days inundated

F#m                  B
Unveilings free from saturation

G#m                    A
Departures raised with no masquerading.

E                           A
There will be teachers that die by their own hand

F#m                    B
Pundits that push head long for atonement

G#m                   A
Friends and followers devoted to living.

E                           A
There will be watchers that plot from in confines

F#m                    B
And those committed to society's circles

F#m                 B
Unwary cogs with no cadence or virtue.

C#m                                A
There will be right, there will be wrong
[Chorus]
A           E           B
Drop of the hat and its already started

A         E            B
Just like that and the deed is done

A        E             B
What I'd give for that hat to be medicine

A           E         Bsus      B
The time is now to be on the run

E                   A
There will be machi nations unforeseen

F#m          B
Sleepwalking sense from a bad dream

G#m          A
No promenade walk in the parkway.

E                        A
There will be catchwords filled with infection

F#m          B
circulars to prop up occasion

G#m              A
A golden mean to guide the footsteps.

E                       A
There will be levels on high hills that appraise

F#m                      B
there will be unchanging certainties

F#m             B
barometers that follow the stampede. 

C#m                                A
There will be right, there will be wrong.
[Chorus]
A           E           B
Drop of the hat and its already started

A         E            B
Just like that and the deed is done

A        E             B
What I'd give for that hat to be medicine

A           E         Bsus      B
The time is now to be on the run
[Solo] E A F#m B G#m A A E B x2
E                          A
There will be signposts of indication

F#m             B
Semephore ghost signs and warnings

G#m                 A
Hailstone halos and country blues wailings.

E                          A
There will be strains that break out of straight time

F#m                  B
But paid with grace, taking roads to the same place

G#m                 A
With consequence to repay what's been given.

E                       A
There will be layers of means to an end

F#m            B
drawn out days before resolution

F#m                  B
dregs will rain down from all directions.

C#m                                A
There will be right, there will be wrong.
[Chorus]
A           E           B

The time is now to be on the run
