Capo 1st Fret

D                     C             G                Em
Time passes slowly up here in the mountains,
D                       C                 G                 Em
We sit beside bridges and walk beside fountains,
F#m         Em                   F#m                       Em
Catch the wild fishes that float through the stream,
D                     C                             G            F#m        G
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.


D                      C                               G                      Em      A
Once I had a sweetheart, she was fine and good-lookin',
D                       C                         G                 Em      A
We sat in her kitchen while her mama was cookin',
G                          A       G                           A
Staring out the window to the stars high above,
G                     F#m                         Asus4         A
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.


G                                        D
Ain't no reason to go in a wagon to town,
G                                           D
Ain't no reason to go to the fair.
                G                                     D
Ain't no reason to go up, ain't no reason to go down,
Asus4                   A        Asus4    A
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.


D                      C              G               Em
Time passes slowly up here in the daylight,
D                             C                  G               Em
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right,
Asus4                        G                Asus4          G
Like the red rose of summer that blooms in the day,
Asus4             G             F#m    Em        Asus4
Time passes slowly and fades away.
