Verse 
G           F         C           Am 
Time passes slowly up here in the mountains 
   G          F           C               Am 
We sit beside bridges and walk beside fountains 
Em             F           Em                F 
Catch the wild fishes that float through the stream 
G           F                C         Am 
Time passes slow when you're lost in a dream

VERSE 
G            F                   C             Am 
Once I had a sweetheart, she was fine and good-lookin' 
   G          F                 C              Am 
We sat in her kitchen while her mama was cookin' 
Em              F             Em          F 
Staring out the window to the stars high above 
G           F                  C             Am 
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love

MIDDLE 8 
         Bb                F 
Ain't no reason to go in a wagon to town 
         Eb                  G 
Ain't no reason to go to the fair 
         Bb                        F 
Ain't no reason to go up, ain't no reason to go down 
         Eb        Dm    C 
Ain't no reason to go anywhere

VERSE 
G           F         C           Am 
Time passes slowly up here in the daylight 
G         F                      C               Am 
 We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right 
Em                      F           Em            F 
   Like the red rose of summer that blooms in the day 
G           F           C      Am 
Time passes slowly then fades away
