[G][D][Dm][D][G][Am][A]
[Dm][D][Dm][D]
[G]
[Dm]All

[Verse 1]
by [D]my lonesome and by my[Dm]self
[D]Ain't no soul left this boy[A] can sell
Cause [Dm]there ain't no reason
[D]to make [Dm]no rhymes
Oh [G]child, you're right on [D]time

[Verse 2]
[D]Oh child, the things I could tell
[Dm]The [D]things I could tell you,
but [A]you already know
Those [Dm]rhymes ain't cards
[G]you play like poker
They're jokers so hold 'em til the [D]fools
[A]all [D]fold

[Interlude 1]
[D][Dm][D][G][Dm]
[G]
[D]
[Dm]So the child

[Verse 3]
came over
or the child [D]came [Dm]out
[D]Speakin' in a whisper what
[A]a man might shout
About [D]dreams and devils
and dollars and dimes
Oh child, you're [G]right on [D]time

[Verse 4]
[Dm]Oh c[D]hild, the [G]things I could tell you
[D]The [G]things I [D]could tell you,
but you [A]already know
Keep [D]drawin' [Dm]them dreams
[D]in the [G]dirt with your finger
Cause singin's about bringin' [D]that mud [G]some
[D]soul

[Interlude 2]
[D][G][Asus4][A]
[D][Dm][D][G]
[Dm]So we sing

[Verse 5]
[D]all night and we
talk all [Dm]day
And we sleep while the farmer
[G]s of the world [A]make hay
And throw [Dm]pennies in the well,
and we pull back wine
[D]Oh chi[Dm]ld, you[D]'re right [G]on time[D]

[Verse 6]
[D]Oh child, the [G]things I could tell you
The things I could tell you,
but you [A]already know
Wa[D]ter to wine and [G]wine to wishes
[D]And wis[G]hes to something you can drink
[D]down [A]col[Dm]d[D]

[Interlude 3]
[G][A]
[D][G][D]

[Verse 7]
[A]Why now, [D]why all now?
[A]Hope's just something
we [G]need somehow
[D]Why[A] now, why[D] all now?
To[G]morrow ain't going [A]away

[Interlude 4]

[G][A][D]

[Verse 8]
[D]Golden- [Dm]tongued child and
[D]a fireside night
Spittin' songs in the kettle
with the [A]heat up high
When the [D]blood's to [Dm]a boil
[D]then the soup's [Dm]sub [D]lime
Oh child, you're [G]right on [D]time

[Verse 9]
[D]Oh child, the [G]things I could [D]tell you
The [G]things I [D]could tell you,
but [A]you already know
You're [Dm]better off broke [D]with soup
[G]in your belly
Than sittin' there hungry [Dm]round [D]a pot [G]of
[D]gol[G]d[D][G][D]

[Outro 1]
