Clocks And Spoons
by John Prine
(capo on 2nd fret)
G B7
Clocks and spoons, empty rooms
C D
It’s raining out tonight
G B7
What a way to end the day
C D
By turnin’ out the light
C D G
Shoot the moon right between the eyes
G/F# Em
I’m sending
C D G
Most of me to sunny country side
Runnin’ through sky of blue
rollin’ in the sun
Every day has a way
of overflowing one
Shoot the moon right between the eyes
I’m keeping
most of me in sunny country side
Don’t know how I did that now
Wonder where it’s gone
Must have spent the way I went
Waitin’ for the dawn
Shoot the moon right between the eyes
I’m screaming
Take me back to sunny country side
Shoot the moon right between the eyes
I’m screaming
Take me back to sunny country side
G B7
Clocks and spoons, empty rooms
C D
It’s rainin’ out tonight...
