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              
Where you're banging on hollow 
 Bbm
land
F#               B
A hunter-gatherer and
F#        Ebm           B
Blowing  blowing out of the rain
Bm              F#      B
In out of the rain

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              
You were signalling with your 
Bbm     Abm
hand
F#      Eb   D       B
Going  going out of my way
                     Bm
You're out of my way
F#                 B              
Where you're banging on hollow 
 Bbm
land
F#               B
A hunter-gatherer and
F#        Ebm           B
Blowing  blowing out of the rain
         Bm     F#      B
In out of the rain

I wish all my words were unsaid

I wish all my words were unsaid

C#m                A          Am
If I could eat my words would I

be standing here
       Ab   C#m

E        Bbm          A      Ab
Biting my tongue and feeling so 
young
C#m     B                  E      A
In the summer when the rain begins
F#                B          E  
Better hurry  don't bide your 
           F#m
time

           B              E       A
Better get all your winter things

Better gather  don't bide your time
F#m     B               E       
In the summer when the rain 
     A
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        
Better gather  don't bide your 
     A     F#m
