The Waterboys - In my time on earth

^Cmaj7Do you see that young pretender ^Fmaj7With the tear-marks on his face ^DmHis dark eyes burning when he ^G6talks ^Cmaj7I knew him in his splendour ^Fmaj7I've known him in disgrace ^DmWho'll cut him down from this ^G6rock

^AmHe says bring me my horses ^Em7My symbols and my wheels And we'll ^Fmaj7speak with our souls for a ^Dmwhile ^G6 'Cause I'm ^Amsick and I'm torn And I ^Em7long to be healed And the ^Fmaj7truth's been too ^Dmlong out of ^G6style ^{G6/C G6}

^G6In my time on this earth ^Fmaj7 I ^Cwill speak the ^Gsecret In my time on earth ^Fmaj7 I will ^Ctell what is ^Gtrue In my time on earth ^Fmaj7 I will ^Csay what the ^Gheart knows In my time on earth ^Fmaj7 I will ^Csay I am ^Gyou

^Cmaj7I'm so tired of the sound ^Fmaj7My old fingers make ^DmAs they tease and torment my gui^G6tar ^Cmaj7And the man on my screen ^Fmaj7Is an actor and a fake ^DmYet he preens like a golden super^G6star

^AmI cried in her arms When the ^Em7darkening day was done And I ^Fmaj7smelt the burning city in her ^Dmhair ^G6 And the ^Amword on the tips Of a ^Em7thousand million tongues Went ^Fmaj7unspoken While a ^Dmlie sped every^G6where ^{G6/C G6}

^G6In my time on this earth ^Fmaj7 I ^Cwill speak the ^Gsecret In my time on earth ^Fmaj7 I will ^Ctell what is ^Gtrue In my time on earth ^Fmaj7 I will ^Csay what the ^Gheart knows In my time on earth ^Fmaj7 I will ^Csay I am ^Gyou

^Cmaj7Now November is here ^Fmaj7With its carpet of leaves ^DmAnd the songs of the dead fill my ^G6ears ^Cmaj7All the champions are fallen ^Fmaj7All the heroes are deceived ^DmAnd the world they made has disap^G6peared

^AmSo let's tell it like is, man ^Em7Let's nail it on the line Let's be ^Fmaj7clean with our tongues from here on ^Dmin ^G6 For ^Amwe're deep in the heart Of the ^Em7enemy's design Just ^Fmaj7waiting for the ^Dmbreakout to be^G6gin ^{G6/C G6}

^G6In my time on this earth ^Fmaj7 I ^Cwill speak the ^Gsecret In my time on earth ^Fmaj7 I will ^Ctell what is ^Gtrue In my time on earth ^Fmaj7 I will ^Csay what the ^Gheart knows In my time on earth ^Fmaj7 I will ^Csay I am ^Gyou In my time on earth ^Fmaj7 I will ^Csay I am ^Gyou In my time on earth ^Fmaj7 I will ^Csay I am ^Gyou
