[C] It's been a long day coming, [G] seems like it'll go on.
[C] The window's open to the [G] night, your coffee's still warm.
[C]
You're feeling good now, [G]
looking well,
[C] being soothed by the [G] sound of Christ's church bell.
[C]
As the hours turn, [G]
you can hear [C] them, they'll be [G] raining in time.
[C] John, he lives in this town,
[G] repairs old watches.
[C] You don't give him much time [G] now, he doesn't know what's gone wrong.
[Em] [C] Keeps on moving, [G] slowly rolling from hell,
[C] asking for forgiveness [G] underneath Christ's church bell.
[C] As the hours turn, [G] you can hear them, they'll be raining in time.
[C] John, still [G] the hours turn, you can hear them, [C] as the time [G] rolls by, rolls [C] by.

[C] You can see clear up [G] to the night sky.
[C] And if you're feeling precious, [G] you want to do well,
[C] think of others, [G] ask for a prayer underneath Christ's church bell.

As the hours [G] turn, you can hear [C] them, they'll be raining [G] in time.
