Closin' Time (Sammy Walker cover) - Yo La Tengo
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Verse 1:
E A
Tell me who'll be left to cry
E A
as the funeral passes by
E A E
the statue of liberty as she's crumbling
E A
will we make her dying bed
E A
place a reef upon her head
E A E
and say it was bound to happen sooner or later
Chorus:
A B
And the curtains goin' down
E A
and the feel of an old ghost town
F#m B
will soon meet the clock we're turning around
A B
well the world aint worth a dime
E A
when the liberty bell has ceased its chime
E B E
i think that we'll know it's closin' time
A E x2
Verse 2:
E A
How can a bluebird sing
E A
in the middle of a spring
E A E
with a broken heart of interfered direction (not sure about this line)
E A
how can a dewdrop fall
E A
on a mountain once so tall
E A E
that's been covered with a blanket of deception
Chorus:
A B
And the curtains goin' down
E A
and the feel of an old ghost town
F#m B
will soon meet the clock we're turning around
A B
well the world aint worth a dime
E A
when the liberty bell has ceased its chime
E B E
i think that we'll know it's closin' time
Solo: Dbm A E x4 A E x2
Verse 2:
E A
How can a bluebird sing
E A
in the middle of a spring
E A E
with a broken heart of interfered direction (again not sure about this line)
E A
how can a dewdrop fall
E A
on a mountain once so tall
E A E
that's been covered with a blanket of deception
Chorus:
A B
And the curtains goin' down
E A
and the feel of an old ghost town
F#m B
will soon meet the clock we're turning around
A B
well the world aint worth a dime
E A
when the liberty bell has ceased its chime
E B E
i think that we'll know it's closin' time
just switch between A and E for outro
