Lyrics and Chords
Verse 1: 0:00 Am It's six o'clock, good morning sounds Em Are everywhere. Am The warmth of spring, a gentle breeze Em Blows through my hair. 0:16 F I hurry through my life Em Em Never stopping to see F How beautiful G It was meant to be. 0:33 F Am I'm just a prisoner G F In a king's disguise, Em C Am Broken dreams G F | F G As we shuffle by. Verse 2: 0:52 Am It's six o'clock, it's quitting time. Em I'm done for the day. Am Out on the streets I overheard Em A lady say, 1:07 F We now have ev'rything, Em Em Or so people say, F But now this emptiness G Haunts me ev'ry day. 1:24 F Am We seek the lion's share, G F Never knowing why. Em C Am Come alive, G F | F G Spread your wings and fly. Chorus: 1:43 C G F F G Pieces of eight, C The search for the G F F G Money tree, Am Don't cash your freedoms in G | F F:G For gold. 1:58 C G F F G Pieces of eight C Can't buy you G F F G Ev'rything, Am Don't let it turn your heart G | F To stone. Instrumental: 2:13 Am | Am | Dm | G Am | Am | Dm | E7 E7 Aaaaaaah 2:27 Am | Am | F | G - x4 Am | Am | F | G F 3:02 C Am:F | G - x4 Chorus: 3:29 C G F F G Pieces of eight, C The search for the G F F G Money tree, Am Don't cash your freedoms in G | F F:G For gold. 3:43 C G F F G Pieces of eight C Treasures filled with G F F G Emptiness, Am Don't let it turn your heart G | F To stone. Chorus: 3:57 C G F F G Pieces of eight, C The search for the G F F G Money tree, Am Don't cash your freedoms in G | F F:G For gold. 4:12 C G F F G Pieces of eight C Treasures filled with G F F G Emptiness, Am Don't let it turn your heart G To stone.
