[Intro]
Am  G  C    Am  G  C
[Verse]
CThere's a time when the truth is bad
CAnd that's so very sad, I know
When FI was a kid, like a mother's sigh
FI used to hear the freight trains cry
They kept me on the Cgo, you know
FEven now I stop to hear
FThe big trucks a-shifting gear
It's what I want to Cknow, you knowAm  
[Chorus]
Hmm Ghmm, hmm ChmmAm  
Hmm Ghmm, hmm Chmm
[Verse]
CThere's a time when the past is past
CFilled with things that never last, I know
The Ffreight trains' lonesome whistles cry
FBecomes a song but there's the sky
Spring always comes aCgain, hmm hmm
FThat old car, it was Christmas time
FFilled with kids and they were all crying
They had no place to Cgo, I knowAm  
[Chorus]
Hmm Ghmm, hmm ChmmAm  
Hmm Ghmm, hmm Chmm
[Verse]
CThere's a time when you face your soul
CTo find if you are true and whole, you know
FI remember your face so clear
FSometimes it seems I hear
The softness of your Csigh, your sigh
And FI remember another time
FAutumn's here and summer's dying
You asked me not to Cgo, don't go
[Instrumental]
Am  G  C    Am  G  C

CThere's a time when you face the sky
CTo find if you are here and why, you know
I Flike to watch the eagle fly
IFn the early dawn when the dew's not dry
I hear a rooster Ccrow, hmm hmm
FJust like a morning star
FThat you see from afar
Through the clear, clear Csky, the skyAm  
[Chorus]
Hmm Ghmm, hmm ChmmAm  
Hmm Ghmm, hmm ChmmAm

[Intro]

Am G C Am G C

[Verse]

There's a time when the truth is bad

And that's so very sad, I know

When I was a kid, like a mother's sigh

I used to hear the freight trains cry

They kept me on the go, you know

Even now I stop to hear

The big trucks a-shifting gear

C Am

It's what I want to know, you know

[Chorus]

G C Am

Hmm hmm, hmm hmm

G C

Hmm hmm, hmm hmm

[Verse]

There's a time when the past is past

Filled with things that never last, I know

The freight trains' lonesome whistles cry

Becomes a song but there's the sky

Spring always comes again, hmm hmm

That old car, it was Christmas time

Filled with kids and they were all crying

C Am

They had no place to go, I know

[Chorus]

G C Am

Hmm hmm, hmm hmm

G C

Hmm hmm, hmm hmm

[Verse]

There's a time when you face your soul

To find if you are true and whole, you know

I remember your face so clear

Sometimes it seems I hear

The softness of your sigh, your sigh

And I remember another time

Autumn's here and summer's dying

You asked me not to go, don't go

[Instrumental]

[Verse]

There's a time when you face the sky

To find if you are here and why, you know

I like to watch the eagle fly

In the early dawn when the dew's not dry

I hear a rooster crow, hmm hmm

Just like a morning star

That you see from afar

C Am

Through the clear, clear sky, the sky

[Chorus]
