The time has begun, I go to the sleeping water now
G                  D/F#         C/E                D
  The slow tide of spring, I am drawn towards your beckoning

Yeah, my friends say there's nothing wrong
            G/D                  Em
Caught on a bad day, caught on a bad day
             B7              C/E

We're lighter than day and I tremble for a moment at the sight of you

Slow handspring: here comes the day of reckoning

Caught on a bad day, caught on a bad day...

I wouldn't like a warning when the big day comes
Let me hear the angels singing

G              D/F#  C/E               D
Pharaoh on the News, lying in a golden rubbish tin
G                         D/F#
  And gathered 'round his head
       C/E                        D
Were expensive things he couldn't take with him

D     x00232    B7    x2120x

       C/E      D
And my legs are gone
       G/D                       C/E
'Cos I left them on the bar-room floor

        C/E        D
And the wise woman said
            G/D                       C/E
There'll be peace and contentment for sure

       C/E      D
And my legs are gone
            G/D                   C/E
But there's one thing that I must do:

           G/D                   Em
Tell you I love you! Look at the ocean
    B7               C/E
And tell me it's not blue

           G/D                Em
Looks like summer, looks like summer
           B7                C/E
Looks like everything I knew

            G/D                  Em
Caught on a bad day, caught on a bad day
              B7              C/E
Well, I still want to be with you
