[Intro]
| E | D | A | F#m |
| E | D | A | F#m |

[Verse 1]
E           D         A           F#m
Time passes slowly up here in the mountains
   E          D           A           F#m
We sit beside bridges and walk beside fountains
D              C#m         D                 C#m
Catch the wild fishes that float through the stream
E           D                A         F#m
Time passes slow when you're lost in a dream

[Chorus]
E            D            A            F#m
La la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la 
E            D            A            F#m
La la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la 

[Verse 2]
E            D                   A             F#m
Once I had a sweetheart, she was fine and good-lookin'
E               D                 A        F#m
  We sat in her kitchen while her mama was cookin'
D              C#m           D           C#m
Stared out the window to the stars high above
E           D                  A             F#m
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love

[Chorus]
E            D            A            F#m
La la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la 
E            D            A            F#m
La la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la 

[Middle 8]
         A                 E
Ain't no reason to go in a morning to town
         A                   E
Ain't no reason to go to the fair
         A                         E
Ain't no reason to go up, ain't no reason to go down
         D               A
Ain't no reason to go anywhere

[Verse 3]
E           D         A           F#m
Time passes slowly up here in the daylight
E                  D            A          F#m
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
D                     C#m       D          C#m
Like a cloud drifting over that covers the day
E           D           A      F#m
Time passes slowly then fades away

[Chorus]
E            D            A            F#m
La la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la 
E            D            A            F#m
La la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la 
E            D            A            F#m
La la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
