Closin Time ukulele

Closin Time

• D

As with the rest of the "Song For Patty" album, there has been a change to the original speed, meaning the 
pitch is off unless you detune precisely. Just in case you try and play along but find it awkward.

Intro: D G x 4

        D                 G
Tell me who'll be left to cry
         D              G
When the funeral passes by
    D         G                D
The Statue of Liberty as she's crumblin'
                       G
Will we make her dyin' bed
        D               G
Place a wreath upon her head
               D               G         D          
And say it was bound to happen sooner or later


Chorus:
    G               A
The curtain's going down
        D          G
And the feel of an old ghost town
                                      A
Will soon make the clock quit turning round
         G                   A
Well the world ain't worth a dime
         D                G
When the Liberty Bell has ceased its chime
  D                A7                D
I think then we'll know it's closin' time

    D              G
How can a Bluebird sing
       D           G
In the middle of a spring
       D               G            D
With a broken heart of interfered direction 
    D              G
How can a dew drop fall
     D                G
On a mountain once so tall 
            D              G            D
That's been covered with a blanket of deception


Chorus:
    G               A
The curtain's going down
        D          G
And the feel of an old ghost town
                                      A
Will soon make the clock quit turning round
         G                   A
Well the world ain't worth a dime
         D                G
When the Liberty Bell has ceased its chime
  D                A7                D
I think then we'll know it's closin' time

       D           G
In the middle of a dream
            D                 G
I heard the helpless children scream 
        D                     G            D
As they walked the plank of a disengaged tomorrow
          D                   G
Though we know the graves are dug 
          D                 G
It's been swept beneath the rug 
    D                 G                D
But no more time will there be left to borrow


Chorus:
    G               A
The curtain's going down
        D          G
And the feel of an old ghost town
                                      A
Will soon make the clock quit turning round
         G                   A
Well the world ain't worth a dime
         D                G
When the Liberty Bell has ceased its chime
  D                A7                D
I think then we'll know it's closin' time

    D           G
The testimony's read
        D                G
And the last regards are said 
         D               G              D
While victorious moss is formin' in the alley
    D                 G
The master's with the king
       D             G
In the center of the ring 
          D                G                 D
While the bugle sounds the doomsday grande finale


Chorus:
    G               A
The curtain's going down
        D          G
And the feel of an old ghost town
                                      A
Will soon make the clock quit turning round
         G                   A
Well the world ain't worth a dime
         D                G
When the Liberty Bell has ceased its chime
  D                A7                D
I think then we'll know it's closin' time
