D                                         G
Hear that old tune come driftin' down the hall
D                                     G
Trying to put a stop to clocks on the wall
D                  G
Free flowin', free flown, 
      D                                     G 
Lord, momma how that old thief time carries on


Chorus:
        Am                         G     
So just take off your old coat and let down your hair
Am                         G
Kick off them boots, honey, I don't care
Am                      D         G
It's only time and only time will tell

Well it looks like a chance with no reason not to take it
And it looks like our dance while the record player fakes it
Hold on, King's X
I think I'll be a captain standin' on a burnin' deck

Chorus

So come waltz you around this old room with me
As if we were some old pair of high degree
Round down, round again 
Don't let old fickle sickle catch you keepin' time with a friend

Chorus
