Goin' Back : Comes a Time : Neil Young



In a foreign land there were creatures at play

Running hand in hand needing nowhere to stay

Driven to the mountains high

They were sunken in the cities deep

Living in my sleep.



I feel like going back

Back where there's nowhere to stay;

When fire filled the sky

I still remember that day.



These ricks I'm climbing down

Have already left the ground

Careening through space.



I used to build these buildings

I used to walk next to you

Their shadows tore us apart

And now we do what we do

Driven to the mountain hugh

Sunken in the cities deep

Living in our sleep



I feel like going back

Back where there's nowhere to stay

Comes a Time : Comes a Time : Neil Young



Intro: G Bm D C G

 

G            Bm

Comes a time when you're drifting 

 

D                     C      G     C G

Comes a time when you settle down

 

G              Bm

Comes a life - feelings lifting

 

D                       C       G        C G

Lift that baby right up off the ground.

 

G    F        C            G

Oh - this old world keeps spinning round

 

       F           C             G

It's a wonder tall trees aren't laying down

 

               Dm             G

There comes a time - comes a time

 

        Dm	G

Comes a time.

 

 

 

You and I - we were captured

We took our souls and we flew away

We were young - we were giving

That's how we kept what we gave away.

 

Oh - this old world keeps spinning round

Its a wonder tall trees ain't laying down

There comes a time - comes a time

Comes a time.

 

Oh - this old world keeps spinning round

Its a wonder tall trees ain't laying down

There comes a time - comes a time

Comes a time.

Look out for my Love : Comes a Time : Neil Young



E		       D

There's a lot to learn

A		D

For wastin' time

E		       D

There's a heart that burns

A		D

There's an open mind

Bm		G

Look out for my love  (x4)

E

You own it



E

You own it now

E

You own it

E		D (etc. as above)

There's a weight on you

But you can't feel it

Livin' likeI do

It's hard to see it

Was I hunt too bad?

Can I show you day light?

How cuold you be sad

When I know that you might

Look out for my love (x4)

Em7

It's in your neighbourhood

Am

I know things are gonna change

      G

But I can't say good or bad



Silver wings of mornings

Shining in the grey day

While the ice is forming

On a lonely runway

Hydraulic wipers pumping

Till the window glistens

Something saying something

But no one seems to listen

Men wear walkie-talkies

And with flash-lights waving

Up upon the tower

Time reads daylight sailing

I'm hoem again to yo babe

You know it makes me wonder

Sittin' in the quiet slipstream

In the thunder

Look out for my love (x7)

Peace of Mind : Comes a Time : Neil Young



You know it takes a long long time

You know it takes a long long time

You love her so and still you know

That you will never want to let her go

Unless you leave her first

Then you come out on top

But still there's just one thing

You haven't got -

Peace of mind - like when you treated her kind

It's hard to find that open space



You know it takes a long long time

You know it takes a long long time

Whne first you gave and shared your soul

Shouldered all these things that take their toll

She knows your weak spot but she still got you hot

And so you do it again reveal the lines within

And go for peace of mind

Like when you treated her kind

It's hard to find that open space



I'm looking for peace of mind

Anywhere I can find

Still seeking for peace of mind

You know it takes a long long time

Lotta Love : Comes a Time : Neil Young



la la la la la la la la la ooooh ooh

It's gonna take a lotta love

To change the way things are

It's gonna take a lotta love

Or we won't get too far

So if you look in my direction

And we don't see eye to eye

My heart needs protection

And so do I.



It's gonna take a lotta love

To get us through the night

It's gonna take a lotta love

To make things work out right

So if you are out there waitin'

I hope you show up soon

'Cause my head needs relating

Not solitude



Got a lotta love oh-yeah got a lotta love

la la la la la la la la la ooooh ooh

It's gonna take a lotta love

To change the way things are

It's gonna take a lotta love

Four Strong Winds : Comes a Time: Neil Young



Think I'll go out to Alberta

Weather's good there in the fall

I got some friends that I can go workign for

Yet I wished you'd change your mind

If I asked you one more time

But we've been through that a hundred times before



If I get there before the snow flies

And if things are lookign good

You could meet me if I sent you down the fare

But by then it would be winter

Not too much for you to do

And those winds sure can blow cold downthere



Four strong winds that blow lonely

Seven seas that run high

All these things that don't change come what may

But our good times are all gone

And so I'm bound for moving in

I'll look for you if I'm ever back that way



Think I'll go out to Alberta

Weather's good there in the fall

I got some friends that I can go workign for

Yet I wished you'd change your mind

If I asked you one more time

But we've been through that a hundred times before



Four strong winds that blow lonely

Seven seas that run high

All these things that don't change come what may

But our good times are all gone

And so I'm bound for moving in

I'll look for you if I'm ever back that way (x7)

Already One : Comes a Time : Neil Young



What can I do? What can I say?

Running down the suspicious highway

I can't forget how love let me down

And when we meet it still gets in my way



But we're already one, already one

Now only time can come between us

'Cause we're already one, our little son

Won't let us forget



Your laughin' eyes your crazy smile

Every time I look in his face

I can't beleive ho wlove lasts a while

And looks like forever in the first place



But we're already one, already one

Now only time can come between us

'Cause we're already one, our little son

Won't let us forget



In my new life I'm travellin' light

With eyes wide open for the next move

Ican't go wrong till i get right

But I'm not fallin' back in the same groove



But we're already one, already one

Now only time can come between us

'Cause we're already one, our little son

Won't let us forget

Human Highway : Comes a Time : Neil Young



I come down from the misty mountain

I got lost in the human highway

Take my head refreshing fountain

Take my eyes from what they've seen

Take my head and change my mind

How could people gt so unkind?



I come down from the crowded mansion

i went lookin' for the D.J's daughter

Since that day I heard it mentioned

That my name is on the line

Now take my head and change my mind

How could people get so unkind?

Now take my head and change my mind

How could people get so unkind?



I come down from the misty mountain

I got lost in the human highway

Take my head refreshing fountain

Take my eyes from what they've seen

Take my head and change my mind

How could people gt so unkind?

Field of Opportunity : Comes a Time : Neil Young



I've been wrong before I'll be there again

I don't have any answers my friend

Just this pile of old questions

My memory left me here

In the field of opportunity

I'm goin' back to my home

But I'm not goin' now

It's too early to be leavin' here somehow

Let me bore you with this story

How my lover let me down

Well I'll borrow seeds of sadness from the ground



In the field of opportunity 

It's ploughin' time again

There ain't no way of teeling

Where the seeds will rise and when

I'll just wait around till springtime

And then I'll find a friend

In the field of opportunity 

It's ploughin' time again



When I'm all done cultivatin'

I'll be rockin' in my porch

Tryin' to picture you

And where you are

There'll be no hesitatin'

When cupid lights his torch

With these headlights 

Comin' down the hill

Between the stars



In the field of opportunity 

It's ploughin' time again

There ain't no way of teeling

Where the seeds will rise and when

I'll just wait around till springtime

And then I'll find a friend

In the field of opportunity 

It's ploughin' time again
