Hours 04:32
She G lived by the sound of the C old hall clock G Chimes of the hour the C tick, tick, tock she G lived on its beat its D time its rule & the C sound of his feet, that D boy from school G lived for the meadow, the C brow of a hill G Ditches and hedgerows, C road to the mill G lived for the rush of the D paddling wheel the C pull and the push of the D wind at his heels …………..now she’s C Waiting as the day begins G Waiting as the night draws in C Waiting by the old stone wall With the G tick, tick, tock from the D clock in the hall The boy grew up and she grew old Felt the aches and felt the cold Saw him shoulder a sailor’s pack Was thru the door & didn’t look back CHORUS then C clock tick tocks & it tick tick tocks Em tick, tick tocks & it tick tick tocks C clock tick tocks & it tick tick tocks Em tick, tick tocks & it tick, tick tocks Then sing chorus under this... With the G tick, tick, tock from the D clock in the hall she lived by the sound of the old hall clock Chimes of the hour the tick, tick, tock And catching a stick that flies through the air was a puppy dog trick………………………. for a boy still there

[G]He’s a man with a past No-one asks But his [Am]scars run [C]deep they never [G]show He came [Bm] back to work the [C] land Now he’s the slaughterhouse [ G] man He’s a [G] man with no missing legs He’s a man with no missing arms Oh but his [Am]scars run deep they never [G]show He came [Bm back to work the [C] land But now he’s the slaughterhouse [G] man [Bm]Knives and hooks that [C]sharpen steel Finds a [Em]fragile peace by these [D] killing fields [Bm] No-one knows or [C] asks him why Or [Am] tries to catch his [D] eye

I won’t beg, I won’t plead, won’t say, ‘baby please’ I won’t cry, I won’t weep, watch this fire freeze Take your clothes, take your shoes, take your old CDs Take your car, take your books, cure this love disease Cos I’m not made of stone or wood When I cut I bleed When I’m battered I will bruise And that’s not what I need Calling the shots, Calling time, On you X 4 Instrumental Calling the shots, Calling time, On you X 4 Don’t beg, don’t plead, don’t say, ‘baby please’ don’t cry, don’t weep, watch this fire freeze Cos I’m not made of stone or wood When I cut I bleed When I’m battered I will bruise And you’re not what I need Calling the shots

If you are lonely, there’s a ship come sailing If you are weak, they’ll help you on board If you are helpless, they’ll keep the wheel turning And steer this vessel to a safer shore If you are poor, they’ll bring you some comfort If you’re downtrodden, they will lift you up high If you are rich, they will help you to kindness And scare that old devil with a spit in his eye But when love comes and hits you like a hurricane Losing your mind, going insane Can’t find an answer listen to this refrain When love comes a calling, you just call out my name If you are troubled I’ll pour oil on the water If you are weary I’ll find somewhere to rest If you want peace I’ll play something to soothe you And carry you up to a place that is blessed When love comes and hits you like a hurricane I got a cure for Cupid’s arrows That make your heart sing or fill you with sorrow When love comes and hits you like a hurricane Losing your mind, going insane Can’t find an answer, listen to this refrain When love comes a calling, you just call out my name

G C D Now who’ll bring me flowers from fields and from meadows G C D And sit at my table and lie in my bed Em C D And who will lay kisses on my foolish wishes Em C D Em If it cannot be you love then no-one at all Em C D G If it cannot be you love then no-one at all I’ll keep candles burning in the window to guide you Like a lighthouse brings boats safely into the shore My heart will beat constant for you and no other My bed will lie empty till you come home once more My bed will lie empty till you come home once more D C D I’ll walk through the fields & I’ll walk through the meadows D Am D And leave the flowers growing until you return And you will lay kisses & grant foolish wishes Em C D Em If it cannot be you love then no-one at all Em C D G If it cannot be you love then no-one at all
