Tom: C#m

A  Ab  B  Bm  F#  D  F#  Bm  C#m
 
A            Abm
I watched you walking
Bm           F#m
Late in the day
D                         F#
Where old men were talking
Bm                   C#m
Binding up the hay
A               Abm
I watched you drinking
        Ab  Abm         A
Shutting your eyes and thinking
  B             Abm     F#m     C# 
Late in the day
F#         B           Bbm      Abm
You were signalling with your hands
F#      Eb   D       B
Going  going out of my way
                Bm
You're out of my way
F#                 B               Bbm
Where you're banging on hollow land
F#               B
A hunter-gatherer and
F#        Ebm           B
Blowing  blowing out of the rain
Bm              F#      B
In out of the rain

        F#      B
Ooooh
        F#      B       F#      D
Oooh

A        Abm     B              F#
After several uneventful days
D                   F#
We gathered all the faithful
Bm               C#m
To come and have their say
A           Ab
Drinking  greeting
                         A
Sellers and farmers meeting
  B            Ab               C#m
Late in the day
F#               B              Bbm     Abm
You were signalling with your hand
F#      Eb   D       B
Going  going out of my way
                     Bm
You're out of my way
F#                 B               Bbm
Where you're banging on hollow land
F#               B
A hunter-gatherer and
F#        Ebm           B
Blowing  blowing out of the rain
         Bm     F#      B
In out of the rain

[Instrumental]
F#m   B  E  A  D  Eb  E  F#m  Ab

C#m     E       F#              Abm             Dbm
I wish all my words were unsaid
C       F#m     Abm     E       Abm    C#m      Ab
I wish all my words were unsaid
C#m                A          Am                   B         E           Ab   C#m
If I could eat my words would I be standing here
E        Bbm          A      Ab
Biding my time and feeling so young
C#m     B                  E      A
In the summer when the rain begins
F#                B          E             F#m
Better hurry  don't bide your time

           B              E       A
Better get all your winter things
F#m     B  E              A     
Better gather  don't bide your time
F#m     B               E            A
In the summer when the rain begins
F#m       B           E
Better hurry  don't bide your time
F#m      B              E
Better get all your winter things
F#m       B            E             A     F#m
Better gather  don't bide your time
