Ain't Your Time To Go

G                              D 
Well, if it ain't your time to go
            C                   G
 then you'd better stay put for now
A           C               G   
Everybody's got to do their time
            D
 until it's time
          G                 D     
And if it ain't broken then break 
       C                        G
it and say you knew me way back when
     A                    C       
When fools were fools and all the 
             G               
rest were swine waiting to be 
     D
defiled
        G          D        C    
I could hang up my shingles out 
                  G
by the side of the road
A               C             
Try to bang the blame out of the 
    G                 D
cinders you left behind

       G                D         
Like a driftwood in the night that
     C                 G
 was washed up by the light
       A                     C    
Of the moon that bleached my bones
      G              D
 then sent me to the pile
G               D                
Mustard in your smile, land that 
C                 G
hand on the radio dial
         A              C         
Then the breezes of the season 
  G                 D
have blown us back to hell
       G      D              
It's a stolen telephone that I 
  C                 G
dialed, blind and alone
A                C          G   
Just to hear the voice of a 
           D
bargain center soul
        G              D          
Now the deserts are in flame and 
   C                G
the bandages are the same
        A               C        
And the factory's casualties are 
G                   D
looking for mangled jewels
           G                  D   
Well if it ain't your time to go, 
         C                   G
then you better stay put for now
       A           C              
'Cause everybody's got to put 
  G             D             G
their hand upon the hand of the 
clock
         D               G        
Like the minds of misers grinding 
           D          G
down their gears to a halt
