Em             C
It was five o, it was six o,
E7            Am 
it's seven o' clock;
            B7
the emotion overtook me,
       Am     Em
I shed bitter clods; 
             C
I was crying for my living
E7           A7
and for destiny;
         Em              B7        Em
eight o' clock, my watch says credibly
 
Em            C
I then read reports and stories
E7             Am 
and the gossip news,
               B7
about football and of murders
      Am      Em
and political views;
                 C
there is trouble deep in Asia,
E7           A7
famine and neglect 
        Em              B7         Em
nine o' clock, my watch says now I checked

Em             C
In the neighborhood a woman
E7                  Am 
spreads the laundry whites;
             B7
she is using a new powder
           Am    Em
that makes shiny brights;
               C
writing songs about privation
E7        A7
and of emigrants
          Em          B7        Em
bought me a penthouse in uptown parts
 
Em              C
All the flowers aren't scenting,
E7               Am 
they are plastic made;
              B7
at one time I had a friendship
      Am       Em
and a love now frayed;
                 C
now it's raining someone's running,
E7               A7
I can't make him out;
         Em        B7         Em
my watch came to a stop thereabout
