Counting Down The Hours Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

EmInnocence, it don't come easy - in a Csense it never will

 AcciAmdents mean no one's guilty, ignoGrance means someone's Dkilled

 So I Emasked our Mr. Mellor how one Cgets to where one's going

 And he Ampoints to his survival, and he Gpoints me down the Droad

 As I go Emon

CWondering if I've got a soul and

DCounting down the hours 'til it Ggoes

 On a Emdark wet night in April, on a Cstreet in Jersey where

 I went Amlooking for some writing that I Gknew would not be Dthere

 And a Empunter from the Pelhams and the Cpolice, in the rain,

 Were conAmcerned more with a car than with the Gfact the light had Dchanged

 But after Emlistening all morning, as I Cdrove down 95

 To a Amstory of detainees who were Gbarely kept Dalive

 I could Emdeal with trying to process pigeons Cacting like they're doves

 But Amnot with interference from the Gpower lines Dabove

 As I go Emon

CWondering if I've got a soul and

DCounting down the hours 'til it Ggoes

 And oh, pEmrecautions, yes prCecautions

 But if you're playing Amwith a gun, you could Gkill someoDne

 And in the dEmark it's hard to Cknow a friend

 But I'm not Amangry, I won't Gbe forever Dangry

 As I'm Emwalking toward tomorrow with a Crifle in my hand

 And I'm Amthinking about New England, and I'm Gmissing old DJapan

 And a Emmountain in California where a Cspring runs hot and cold

 And if I Amtold you I felt ageless, would you Gtell me I'm not Dold?

 As I go Emon

CWondering if I've got a soul and

DCounting down the hours 'till it Ggoes
