D              E  F#m G
We can talk about it now
           A
It's that same old riddle only starting from the middle
D                 E     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 across the hall 
Bm          F#          G
Don't give up on father clock
A                     D    A7
We can talk about it now

D                 E F#m G   
Come, let me show you how
    A
To keep the wheels turnin' you've got to keep the engine churnin'
D               E F#m G 
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             F#        G
Pick up your heads and walk
A                     D   F 
We can talk about it now

C              E7                           F
It seems to me we've been holding something underneath our tongues 
C                          E7                           F                G
I'm afraid if you ever got a pat on the back It would likely burst your lungs
     A               E7               A               E7
Woh, stop me, if I should sound kinda down in the mouth
          A                   E7             A                 E       A
But I'd rather be burned in Canada than to freeze here in the south 

D               E F#m G
Pulling that eternal plough 
       A
We've got to find a sharper blade or have a new one made 
D                E  F#m    G
Rest awhile and cool your brow 
       A
Don't need it, 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               F#         G
The leaves have turned to chalk 
A                     D       A    D
We can talk about it now
A                     D 
We can talk about it now
