Prep . . .

 

. . . for live performance of 'The Hours' 

   Gm 
On and on flow the hours

  Gm                           F7       EbMaj7
Like rolling waves upon the sea

  Eb                               EbMaj7-D-  Eb-E- 
And like so many and so var   -ied flowers

F7                                                         D7sus4
Each one some nectar for the bee

  Gm
We're keeping tabs and writing numbers

  Gm                        F7        EbMaj7
Logging each minute in the book

  Eb                                   EbMaj7-D- Eb- E-           
We have a choice to either dread the counting

F7                                                D7sus4
Or see the forest if we look

(Instrumental- Db  Dbsus4  Db-5  Db / Db  Dbsus4  Db-5  Db / Eb  / Eb  D  Eb  E  Fm)

(Chorus)
Fm                   Eb       Db7 
Store the knowledge
                       Eb        Fm
Hoard the wisdom

Take the years

               C7           
And just run like crazy

Fm           Eb   Db7
Party’s only

                          Eb    Fm
What you make it


Make it into the 


C7
Best you can
                            >
(Instrumental- / Dbm / Dbm  D7sus4/ )

Gm
There’s no protection from the power  

  Gm       F7       EbMaj7
Generated everyday


  Eb                                                EbMaj7-D- Eb-  E-                               
The blazing lights shine from each lof      -ty  tower


F7                                          D7sus4
Just to illuminate the way    

(Instrumental- Db  Dbsus4  Db-5  Db / Db  Dbsus4  Db-5  Db / Eb  / Eb  D  Eb  E  Fm)
(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Dbsus4  Db
Things  that never occur to you

                       Db  Eb 
In the spring

E
Become clearer with each

Ebm7    Ab7
Passing season

                >      >      >
(Horns / Gm /Gm-Gm-Gm  Gm)

Gm
All options must be on the table

  Gm                      F7          EbMaj7
All points of view be understood

Eb                                     EbMaj7-  D-   Eb-E-
And if you don’t do ev’ry thing    you’re a- ble

F7
Make sure you do those which are good

(Instrumental and Chorus [as above])
(Fade on Dbm piano improvisation)
