Track 3 Penultimate Hours

https://soundclick.com/r/s8gse1

Rhythm riff: |A    ^E        |^D        |

Everyone loves a glorious sunset                                              |A    E    |D           |

The final throw of the sun's domain                                        |E     G   |D           |

Sit down and wait for that perfect moment                         |A    E    |D           |

Capture a note from the last refrain                                        |E     A|  D            |

Over and done with in an instant                                              |Bm       |A           |

Time to leave till the world spins again                                   |C  G      |Em  D  |D           |

 

Everyone loves the midday sunshine                                      |E           |D           |

Warmth that will stretch for hours ahead                              |E           |A   D     |

No need for haste or careful planning                  

Time in abundance fills your head                          

Sweet soporific inactivity

On daydreaming paths your thoughts are led.

 

But I prefer the hours before                                                     |F  C       |

The hour before the end of day                                                                |G Am  |

The subtler light conveys much more                                     |F  C       |

And leads you to activity                                                               |Em  Am|

And all your worries come to nought                                      |F   C      |

As creativity flowers                                                                       |G  Am |

You find the peace to stir your thoughts                                                |F   C   |

In those penultimate hours                                                         | E          | E7        |

 

Why waste your time lamenting

All the time you wasted in your youth

Or pondering on your final ending

Jump on in don't stand aloof

There's time enough if you embrace life

That's the test and final truth
