Tom: Am
F C G C
There's a man in the mountains, of east Tennessee
F C G C
With three generations, making that gentleman's drink
F C G C
He pours in his soul, then the corn from his land
F C G C
Then he lets that old clock, do what only it can
[Instrumental]
F C G C
[Verse 2]
F C G C
We were kids when I met her, then I quit that small town
F C G C
A handful of years later, shit just look at her now
F C G C
Just like that whiskey, she grew strong and smooth
F C G
And old father time, he knew just what to do
[Chorus]
F C G
It takes ti-me, can't rush your way right through this life
F C G
Ti- me, no crop don’t grow overnight
F C E Am
Ti- me, gotta put the work in to get it right
F C G C
Woah oh, Lord it just takes time (ya)
[Instrumental] x2
F C G C
[Verse 3]
F C G C
Well a bird dropped a seed, and it bloomed in the woods
F C G C
It took 200 years, to fall from where it stood
F C G C
It took the hands of a maker, and the sweat from his brow
F C G
To make that tree this guitar I’m playin’ now
[Chorus]
F C G
It takes ti-me, can't rush your way right through this life
F C G
Ti- me, no crop don’t grow overnight
F C E Am
Ti- me, you gotta put the work in to get it right
F C G C
Woah oh, Lord it just takes time
[Bridge]
F C G C
Yeah-
F C G C
Whoah-oh-oh time, time, ti-me (yeah)
[Instrumental]
F C G C F C G G
[Chorus]
F
It takes ti-me, can't rush your way right through this life
N.C.
Ti- me, no crop don’t grow overnight
F C E Am
Ti- me, gotta put the work in to get it right
F C G C
Woah oh, Lord it just takes time
F C G C
I said whoah oh---, Lord it just takes time
