C                           Dm    
There's a solitary man crying hold 
C
me
C                         Dm   C
It's only because he's a lonely
C                         Dm   C
if the keeper of time runs slowly
C                           Dm   C
He won't be alive for Long!
F                                 
If He Only Had Time to tell of all
         C
 of the things he planned

Verse 2 (Same Chords)
To the opuim dens and the bar room 
gin
In the belmont chair  playing 
violins
The gamble's face crack into a grin
As he lay's down the king of spades
But the dealer just stares, there's 
something wrong here he
thinks
The gambler is siezed and forced to 
his knees
and shot dead
Verse 3 (vocal lay out 4 lines)

 He only wanted more time away from 
the darkest door
 But his luck it gave in as the dawn
 light crept in
 and he lay on the floor
Verse 4
Fromt the hundred year war to the 
crimea
With a lance and a musket and a 
roman spear
To all of the men who have stood 
with no fear
In the service of the king
Before you met your fate be sure you
 did no forsake
Your lover may no be around anymore
