Praying For Time

7 7 7 7 7 7 -7 -7 7
These are the days of the o-pen hand

-5 7 7 -7 -7 7
They will not be the last

5 -5b -5 4
Look a-round now

-6b -6b -5 -5b -5b 5
These are the days of the

-5b -5 -6b -6 7 -5
Beg-gars and the choos-ers

7 7 7 7 7 -7 -7 -6b 7
This is the year of the hun-gry man

-6b 7 7 -7 -7 7
Whose place is in the past

5 -5b -5 5 -5 5 -5b
Hand in hand with ig-nor-ance

-5b 5 -5b -5 -6b -6 -8 -7
And le-gi-ti-mate ex-cu-ses

-8 8 8 8 -7 -9 8
The rich de-clare them-selves poor

-8 8 -8 8 -7 -9 -9
And most of us are not sure

-7 7 -7 -8 8
If we have too much

7 -7 -9 8 -8 -7
But we’ll take our chan-ces

-7 -9 8 -8 8 -7
‘Cause God’s stopped keep-ing score

-8 8 8 8 -7 -9 -9 8
I guess some-where a-long the way

7 -7 -8 8 8 8 -9 -9 -9
He must have let us all out to play

9 -9 -9 -7 -9 8 -8 -7
Turned his back and all God’s child-ren

-8 -8 -8 -7 7
Crept out the back door

(CHORUS)

-5 -5 -8 -8 -7
And it’s hard to love,

-5 -5 -8 -8 -7
there’s so much to hate

-5 -5 -8 -8 7
Hang-ing on to hope

-5b -5 -6b -6 7 -7 7 -5
When there is no hope to speak of

-5 -5 7 -7 -8 7 -7
And the wound-ed skies a-bove

-5 -5 -8 -8 -8 -7
say it’s much much too late

-5 -6b -5 -6b -5 -5b
Well may-be we should all

5 -5b -5b -5 4
be pray-ing for time

-8 8 -9 9 7 -8 -7 7
do do do oh mm wo wo yeah

VERSE 2

7 7 7 7 7 7 -7 -6b 7
These are the days of the emp-ty hand

-5 -5 7 7 7 -7 -6 7
Oh, you hold on to what you can

-5 5 -5b -5 -5 4 -6b -5 -5b
And cha-ri-ty is a coat you wear

-5b 5 -4
twice a year

7 7 7 7 7 7 -8 7 -7
This is the year of the guil-ty man

-5 7 7 7 -5 7 -5 7
Your tel-e-vi-sion takes a stand

5 -5b -5 5 -4 5 -5b -5 -5b
And you find that what was o-ver there

7 7 -7 -8
is o-ver here

-7 -8 8 8 -7 -9 -8 8
So you scream from be-hind your door

-7 -8 8 -7 -9 8 -8 8
Say what’s mine is mine and not yours

-7 7 -7 -8 8
I may have too much

7 -7 -9 8 -8 -7
But I’ll take our chan-ces

-7 -9 8 -8 8 -7
‘Cause God’s stopped keep-ing score

-8 8 8 8 -7 -9 -9 8 -7
And you cling to the things they sold you

-8 8 8 8 -7 -9 8 -8 8 -7
Did you cov-er your eyes when they told you

7 -7 9 -9 -9
That he can’t come back

7 -7 -9 8 -8 -7 7 7 -8 7
‘Cause he has no chil-dren to come back for

(CHORUS TO END)

ENJOY!!
