CLOCK ON THE WALL - The Guess Who / Louis Tillett



INTRO/BRIDGE:   Am   Fflat5maj7   Am   Fflat5maj7



    Am                     C
The clock on the wall says 12 noon
D                              F
  Guess I'd better get up soon
    Am                     C
The clock on the wall says 20 to 1
D                             F
  There's things to be done



CHORUS:
          Am           D            Am         D
Yeah, The clock on the wall keeps a pushin' me


Am             D             Am         D
That's not the way I want my life to be


   Am           C                D
If you take any pushin' from the clock on the wall


             F               E(d.b.) (then riff on Am)
You won't be happy at all



BRIDGE



    Am                     C
The clock on the wall says quarter to 3
D                       F
  I got people to see
Am
Meet my friend Clive
      C
Start drinkin' by 5
D                                  F
  End up within' I weren't alive



  Am                        C
I look at the clock it says 20 to 9
D                               F
  Got to meet my girl on time
    Am                 C
She puts me down then, that's quarter to 10
D                          F
  I'm out drinkin' again



CHORUS



BRIDGE



    Am                        C
The clock on the wall stripes midnight hour
D                             F
  I'm feelin' dirty and sour
  Am
I feel the clock pushin'
         C
Like the blade of a knife
D                         F
  I want to end my life



       Am
But it ain't no use
    C
I'm used to this abuse
D                              F
  This is my moment of truth



Am
  Lives all endin'
   C
My friends are all gone
    D                                  F
But like the clock on the wall I'll be goin' on and on



CHORUS



BRIDGE:---[X2]---[WORDS SPOKEN]
Watchin' every day
Hours and minutes tickin' away
It ain't getting' any younger
Keep'n on and on and on
I can't stand it
This stuff's runnin' on
I hear the minutes tickin' on
