As recorded by Joan Baez

Intro
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
The moon is low on the southland
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
The frogs are asleep on the lake
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Did you know that tears run in rivulets
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
And hearts can repeatedly break?
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And this may well be the last time
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
If my spirits don't pick up and fly
ch]C[/ch
For though it's sad
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
It may well be true
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch
That our time is passing us by
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Occasionally you have called for me
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I've always tried to be there
ch]Am[/ch
But it seemed whenever my train pulled in
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
You never did really care
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And the only thing I could decipher
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
From the corner of your roving eye
ch]C[/ch
Was that you and I
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
Were the first ones to know
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
That our time was passing us by
Interlude
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Well, it was fun for the first few years
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Playing Legend In Our Time
ch]Am[/ch
And there were those who discussed the fact
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
That we drifted apart in our prime
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And we haven't got too much in common
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Except that we're so much alike
ch]G[/ch
And I hate it for though
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
You're a big part of me
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
But our time is passing us by
Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
So I can sit here in my silver chair
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
You can stay there on your gold
ch]Am[/ch
You can say you've got commitments
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
And I can say I'm growing old
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And I can get up and make comments
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
On the color of the evening sky
ch]C[/ch
But our ships have come home
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
And the night's rolling in
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
And our time is passing us by
Outro
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
But cast us adrift
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
And cross a few stars
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And I'm good for one more try
