_ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ When I was [Dm]
just a little [Eb] boy, only six [Bb] years old, _ _
I asked [Dm] my daddy what [Eb] he thinks my future [Bb]
holds.
_ _ [Dm] _ _
He said, son, when you [Eb] grow up to be a man,
_ [Dm] _ _ that's some life you [Eb] will start to _ understand.
_ _ [C] _
Nobody _ _ knows just what tomorrow may bring,
_ [F] so I want to tell you now, and listen while [Eb] I sing.
_ _ _ My daddy [Bb] said, time [F] will tell, _ _ _ time [Bb] will tell, _ _ [Eb] _ _
time alone will [Bb]
tell.
_ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [Bb] _ Now [Dm] I'm a lonely man trying [Eb] to make life on [Bb] my own. _ _
Ever since [Dm] the day I was born, I'll [Eb] never have a happy [Bb] _
home.
_ [Dm] _ Just like a river I've [Eb] been running ever _ since
_ [Dm] _ the day I was born _ [Eb] _ a little _ man.
_ [C] _
I'm wondering now just what my end will be.
_ _ [F] Oh, this seems to _ me, happiness I'll never [Eb] _ _ _
_ see.
My [Bb] mama said, _ time will [F] tell, _ _ time [Bb] will tell, _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
time alone will [Bb]
tell.
_ _ [F] What do you say [Bb] now?
_ Time [F] will tell, _ _ _ time [Bb] will tell, _ [Eb] _
_ time _ alone will [Bb] tell.
That's [F]
me, so [Bb] what? _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm]
And _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ it's changing like [Eb] the weather and the season.
_ _ [Dm] _ For every mistake mama [Eb] said, there must be a _ reason.
[C] _ After a _ storm, _ there's got to be a balm.
_ _ [F]
So I think I'll wait a while and try to wear [Eb] a smile. _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] But if I'm [F] a devil, _ _ _ I'm [Bb] a devil, _ [Eb] _
_ I'm a devil, _
_ [Bb] _ I'm a devil, I'm a devil.
_ [F]
What do you say [Bb] now? _ _
_ [F] _ Time will tell, time [Bb] will tell, time [Eb] alone _ _ _ _ will [Bb] tell. _ _
_ [F] One more time [Bb] now.
Time will _ [F] tell, time will _ tell, _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] time alone will tell.
