VERSE:
D The smart money's on Harlow D And the moon is in the street G A7 D The shadow boys are breaking all the laws D A7 And you're east of East Saint Louis D And the wind is making speeches G A7 And the rain sounds like a round of applause D Napoleon is weeping D In the carnival saloon G A7 D His invisible fiance's in the mirror D A7 And the band is going home D It's raining hammers, it's raining nails G A7 It's true there's nothing left for him down here
CHORUS:
D A7 D And it's time, time, time G D A7 And it's time, time, time D F#m G Em And it's time, time, time, that you love D A7 D And it's time, time, time
VERSE 2:
D And they all pretend they're orphans D And their memory's like a train G A7 D You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away D A7 And the things you can't remember D Tell the things you can't forget G A7 That history puts a saint in every dream D Well she said she'd stick around D Until the bandages came off G A7 D But these mama's boys just don't know when to quit D A7 And Matilda asks the sailors D Are those dreams or are those prayers? G A7 So close your eys, son and this won't hurt a bit
CHORUS...
VERSE 3:
D Well things are pretty lousy D For a calendar girl G A7 D The boys just dive right off the cars and splash into the street D A7 And when they're on a roll D She pulls a razor from her boot G A7 And a thousand pigeons fall around her feet D So put a candle in the window D And a kiss upon his lips G A7 D As the dish outside the window fills with rain D A7 Just like a stranger D With the weeds in your heart G A7 And pay the fiddler off 'till I come back again
