This is not my tab, I am sharing it on this website, and don't take credit for its creation: But here is Father Time, By Animal Collective Father Time: (transcription by Chocolate Boy from CA) G, C G Open up your locket Does solidarity breed from a good foundation? C Things speed out of date Now you can be falling And when you're up it's blown up G With all new buildings painted they're not your colors C And all the places you went to you don't get what they offer But hey that's Nathan and didn't he pass a long time ago? G Where'd he go? G We exorcised the weekend Now all the demons can't play but they snuck into Thursday C We're looking out for panthers from the road again But didn't they pass a long time ago? Where'd they go? Dm Luck Em It's not real C Oh it's real Am No it's not real Dm C G Em Maybe it's only real when lightning landed and hit you right where you were standing F Em Dm Em Or when your imagination shows you what only time's supposed to tell you Am C G Em F And then I imagine time he's got real big hands and bigger pla-a--a-a-ans G C From a long time ago G And did I remember suitcasing all the things in my head C And all the expectations of doing something special I could be gone today But where do they take me? G (Same as first) Luck It's not real Though my feelings say it's real Maybe it's only real when someone blinds you When they had always been so kind to you Imagination won't get moldy can't wait for time to unfold me And then I imagine time he's got real big hands and bigger plans From a long time ago G, C There are none too small
