COUNTING OUT TIME by Genesis
=================
written by Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett & Mike Rutherford
from the "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" album (1974)
chords by Piguinho (from Brazil)


Ab Ab/G Fm7
I'm counting out time,
Ab/Eb C#7+
Got the whole thing down by numbers.
Ab/C Bb
All those numbers! Give me guidance!
Eb7 Ab
O Lord I need that now.
Ab/G Fm7
The day of judgement's come,
Ab/Eb C#7+
And you can bet that I've been resting,
Ab/C Bb
for this testing, digesting every
Eb7 Ab
word the experts say.

F# C#/F Ab/Eb
Erogenous zones I love you.
B F#/Bb Ab7
Without you, what would a poor boy do?

Ab7
Found a girl I wanted to date,
Thought I'd better get it straight.
Went to buy a book before it's too late.
Don't leave nothing to fate.

Ab7/Eb Bb7 C#
I studied every line, every page in the book,
D D/C Bb
Now, I've got the real thing here, I'm gonna take a look, take a look.

Ab Ab/G Fm7
I'm counting out time,
Ab/Eb C#7+
hoping it goes like I planned it,
Ab/C
'cos I understand it.
Bb Eb7 Ab
Look! I've found the hotspots, Figures one to nine.
Ab/G Fm7
still counting out time,
Ab/Eb C#7+
got my finger on the button,
Ab/C Bb
"Don't say nothin' - just lie there still
Eb7 Ab
And I'll get you turned on just fine."

F# C#/F Ab/Eb
Erogenous zones I love you.
B F#/Bb Ab7
Without you, what would a poor boy do?

Ab7
Touch and go with 1-6.
Bit of trouble in zone No. 7.
Gotta remember all of my tricks.
There's heaven ahead in No. 11!

Ab7/Eb Bb7 C#
Getting crucial responses, dilation of the pupils.
D D/C Bb
"Honey get hip! It's time to unzip,
to unzip, zip, zip-a-zip-a-zip. Whipee!"

( Ab Ab/G Fm7 Ab/Eb C#7+ Ab/C Bb Eb7 Ab ) 2x

Ab Ab/G Fm7
I'm counting out time,
Ab/Eb C#7+
reaction none to happy,
Ab/C
Please don't slap me,
Bb Eb7 Ab
I'm a red blooded male and the book said I could not fail.
Ab/G Fm7
I'm counting out time,
Ab/Eb C#7+
I got unexpected distress
Ab/C
from my mistress,
Bb Eb7 Ab
I'll get my money back from the bookstore right away.

F# C#/F Ab/Eb
Erongenous zones I question you
B F#/Bb Ab
Without you, what would a poor boy do?
B F#/Bb Ab
Without you, what would a poor boy do?
B F#/Bb Ab C#m
Without you, mankind handkinds thru' the blues.
