Chords

[Verse 1]
   D                        G  
There will be droughts and days inundated

   Em                  A  
Unveilings free from saturation

     Bm                  G  
Departures raised with no masquerading

   D                    G  
There will be teachers that die by their own hand

    Em                   A  
Pundits that push headlong for atonement

   Bm                     G  
Friends and followers devoted to living

 D                      G  
There will be watchers that ply for new confines

 Em                      A  
Those committed to society's circles

 Em                      A  
Unwary cogs with no cadence of virtue

   Bm                     G  
There will be right, there will be wrong
[Chorus]
 G               D               A  
Drop of the hat and it's already started

 G               D               A  
Just like that and the deed is done

 G               D               A  
What I'd give for that hat to be medicine

 G               D               A  
The time is now to be on the run
[Verse 2]
 D                     G  
There will be machinations unforeseen

 Em                     A  
Sleepwalking sense from a bad dream

   Bm                    G  
No promenade walk in the parkway

 D                     G  
There will be catchwords filled with infection

 Em                     A  
Circulars to prop up occasion

   Bm                    G  
No golden mean to guide the footsteps

 D                     G  
There will be levels on high hills that appraise

 Em                     A  
There will be unchanging certainties

 Em                     A  
Barometers that follow the stampede

   Bm                    G  
There will be right, there will be wrong
[Chorus]
 G               D               A  
Drop of the hat and it's already started

 G               D               A  
Just like that and the deed is done

 G               D               A  
What I'd give for that hat to be medicine

 G               D               A  
The time is now to be on the run
[Guitar Solo] D G Em A D D Em A G D A G D A [Verse 3]
 D                       G  
There will be signposts of indication

 Em                       A  
Semaphore go signs and warnings

   Bm                      G  
Hailstone halos and country-blues wailings

 D                       G  
There will be strains that break out of straight time

 Em                       A  
To pave with grace different roads to the same place

   Bm                      G  
No consequence to repay what's been given

 D                       G  
There will be layers of means to an end

 Em                       A  
Drawn-out days before resolution

 Em                       A  
Dregs will rain down from all directions

   Bm                      G  
There will be right,there will be wrong
[Chorus]
 G               D               A  
Drop of the hat and it's already started

 G               D               A  
Just like that and the deed is done

 G               D               A  
What I'd give for that hat to be medicine

 G               D               A  
The time is now to be on the run
