Pink Floyd – Time (Album: The Dark Side of the Moon (1973)) Key: F#m
Intro: E | F#m | E | F#m || E | F#m | F#m | A || E | F#m
[ F#m | A | E | F#m ] (repeat Chords for verse)
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day,
fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way,
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown,
waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
Dmaj7 Amaj7
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain,
you are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today.
Dmaj7 C#m7
And then one day, you find ten years have got behind you.
Bm7 E
No one told you when to run….You missed the starting gun.
(solo over verse / Chorus chord progr.)
[ F#m | A | E | F#m ]
run and you run to catch up with the Sun, but it’s sinking;
racing around to come up behind you again.
The Sun is the same in a relative way, but you’re older,
shorter of breath, and one day closer to death.
Dmaj7 Amaj7
Ev’ry year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught, or half a page of scribbled lines.
Dmaj7 C#m7
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.
Bm Bm7 F/B
The time is gone, the song is over. Thought I’d something more to say.
Break: [ Emadd9 | A | Emadd9 | A ]
Em7 A Em7 A
Home, home again, I like to be here when I can
When I come home, cold & tired, It’s good to warm my bones beside the fire
Cmaj7 Bm7
Far away, across the field, Tolling on the iron bell
Fmaj7 G D7#9 D7b9 Bm
Calls the faithful to their knees, To hear the softly spoken magic spell
