Song title:     Time On Earth
Album:          -

Words and Music by Neil Finn

NOTES:
This was transcribed from one of Neil's Basement Webcasts that took
place in late 2001, and may be seen on www.nilfun.com. Neil plays a
ukelele part, though, which won't help you much unless you also play.
:-)) You'll have to trust your ear!

Not sure if it's ever been played on stage but it was written around
the time of the "One All" sessions.

Corrections/improvements are welcome!


VERSE:
D              E
Clean out your room,
                  D             E7
Find something to do to keep my mind off you
D             E
Deep holes in space,
                          D                E7
Through the centre of the earth come up in my backyard.
D          E
Faces that shine,
                D                  E7
In the midst of calm, all that’s behind us now.


CHORUS:
Am7                         D7
    Cross the ocean in your living-room
G#m            G#m6
Feel the pain, light the matches with a...


VERSE:
Take your reward
It’s like a second course on your revenge
Hang on my words
You wear the halo now, now you’re entire


CHORUS


BRIDGE:
D             E
I won’t think twice
        D              E7
Time on earth could be time spent
D           E             D                  E7      D
Where every night raise a glass to your good health


[strum D for two measures]


CODA:
D             C                G                  D
Purple light, ash on the tray, everything changed tonight
D             C          G              D
Slow release, time to go making it show you know how
D            C                     G                   D
As they say,    it’s coming at you day after day after day now
D             E
I won’t think twice
        D              E7
Time on earth could be time spent
D           E             D                  E7
Where every night raise a glass to your good health.

D           E           D              E7
Baaah ba ba baah, ba ba baah, ba ba ba baa - ah

N.C.              C                G                  D
The purple light, ash on the tray, everything changed tonight.
