Marking Time Lyrics

Terry Reid - Marking Time - Terry Reid (1969)
INTRO & VERSE RIFF
Sat in my hands, sat in almost everything I own
Birds wheeling high in the sky knowing which way to fly, which way to go
CHORUS CHORDS
A (let ring)
Well I'm standing here
C (let ring)
Just looking at the sea
G (let ring) EaddG (A5)
Trying to wonder whether this shit's for me not at all
No one wants to change it
Oo woh, so many people, so many people may sit around and moan
But you'll not, you'll not, you're not gonna find it very far away from home
I've been looking in
Trying to realise
Wondering if there's something I could comprimise or not at all
But nobody really wants to change it
Call me anything
Call me a fool
Call me what you want but oh man just stay cool, stay cool, stay cool, woh
SOLO GUITAR BREAK
I'm sat here
Trying memorize
wondering whether, wondering whether to realise or not at all
But nobody really wants to weather the change
So many people sit and ask me why
But I just keep hold on to the seasons until the day I die
Sat down here
Trying realise
If it's really worth it or whether I should make up to the skies above if we know at all
SOLO GUITAR BREAK 2
OUTRO CHORDS
A D Eb F (let ring)
(Drum solo outro)
BLS
