Verse 1
[D]The smart money's on Harlow
[D]And the moon is in the street
The [G]shadow boys are [A7]breaking all the [D]laws
And you're [G]east of East Saint [A7]Louis
And the [D]wind is making speeches
And the [G]rain sounds like a round of [A7]applause
[D]Napoleon is weeping
[D]In the carnival saloon
His [G]invisible [A7]fiance's in the [D]mirror
And the [G]band is going [A7]home
It's raining [D]hammers, it's raining nails
It's [G]true there's nothing left for him [A7]down here
Chorus
And it's [D]time, [A7]time, [D]time
And it's [G]time, [Em9]time, [A7]time
And it's [D]time, [Dmaj7]time, [G]time, that you [Em]love
And it's [D]time, [A7]time, [D]time
Verse 2
[D]And they all pretend they're orphans
[D]And their memory's like a train
You can [G]see it getting [A7]smaller as it pulls [D]away
And the [G]things you can't [A7]remember
Tell the [D]things you can't forget
That [G]history puts a saint in every [A7]dream
[D]Well, she said she'd stick around
[D]Until the bandages came off
But these [G]mama's boys just [A7]don't know when to [D]quit
And [G]Matilda asks the [A7]sailors
Are those [D]dreams or are those prayers?
So [G]close your eyes, son, and this [A7]won't hurt a bit
Chorus
And it's [D]time, [A7]time, [D]time
And it's [G]time, [Em9]time, [A7]time
And it's [D]time, [Dmaj7]time, [G]time, that you [Em]love
And it's [D]time, [A7]time, [D]time
Verse 3
[D]Well, things are pretty lousy
[D]For a calendar girl
The [G]boys just dive right [A7]off the cars and [D]splash into the street
And [G]when they're on a [A7]roll
She pulls a [D]razor from her boot
And a [G]thousand pigeons fall around her [A7]feet
[D]So put a candle in the window
[D]And a kiss upon his lips
As the [G]dish outside the [A7]window fills with [D]rain
[G]Just like a [A7]stranger
With the [D]weeds in your heart
And [G]pay the fiddler off till I come [A7]back again
Chorus
And it's [D]time, [A7]time, [D]time
And it's [G]time, [Em9]time, [A7]time
And it's [D]time, [Dmaj7]time, [G]time, that you [Em]love
And it's [D]time, [A7]time, [D]time[A]
And it's [D]time, [A7]time, [D]time
And it's [G]time, [Em9]time, [A7]time
And it's [D]time, [Dmaj7]time, [G]time, that you [Em]love
And it's [D]time, [A7]time, [D]time
