D Em F#m G
We can talk about it now
A
It's that same old riddle
Only starting from the middle
D Em F#m G
I'd fix it but I don't know how
A
Well, we could try to reason
But you might think it's treason
G F
One voice for all
E7 A
Echoing along the hall
Bm Bm/A G
Don't give up on father clock
A Bm C#m D A7
We can talk about it now
D Em F#m G
Come, let me show you how
A
To keep the wheels turnin' you've got to
Keep the engine churnin'
D Em F#m G
But did you ever milk a cow
A
I had the chance one day
But I was all dressed up for Sunday
G F
Everybody, everywhere
E7 A
Do you really care
Bm Bm/A G
Pick up your heads and walk
A Bm C#m D G7
We can talk about it now
C E7
It seems to me we've been holding something
F
Underneath our tongues
C E7
I'm afraid if you ever got a pat on the back
F G
It would likely burst your lungs
A E
Oh, stop me if I should sound
A E
Kinda down in the mouth
A E
But I'd rather be burned in Canada
A D A A/C#
Than to freeze here in the south
D Em F#m G
Pulling that eternal plough
A
We've got to find a sharper blade
Or have a new one made
D Em F#m G
Rest awhile and cool your brow
A
Don't you see there's no need to slave
The whip is in the grave
G F
No salt, no trance
E7 A
It's safe now to take a backward glance
Bm Bm/A G
Because the flames have turned to chalk
A Bm C#m D
We can talk about it now
A Bm C#m D
We can talk about it now
