Without the fiddle solo, I find it interesting in that space between the two 
verses to play the same chord pattern, hammering on the sus4 of each chord.
Enjoy!

Well there is Da clock, on the coffee machine,A  
Telling you what time it is Grelative to where youve got to Abe,
And there is a clock, on Dthe console of your car,A  
Telling you what time it is Grelative to how far youve got to go Abefore youre there,D  
At your destination, be Ait place of work, Gplace of rest or the watering hole.A  
Well the question remains, what Dis time?A  
Its when the sun goes Gup, the sun goes down, 
the moon cAomes out and people dance all around.
FIDDLE SOLO!
Even Einstein said, time’s not a condition in which we live,
But a condition in which we think and we can change the way we think.
So the question remains, what is time?
Its when the sun goes up, the sun goes down,
The moon comes out and people dance all around.
