The Band - We Can Talk

intro : D Em F#m G A D Em F#m G A

D Em F#m G
we can talk about it now
A
it’s that same old riddle
only starting from the middle
D Em F#m G
i’d fix it but i don’t know how
A
well , we could try to reason
but you might think it’s treason

G F
one voice for all
E7 A
echoing along the hall
Bm Bm/A G
don’t give up on father clock
A Bm C#m D A7
we can talk about it now

D Em F#m G
come , let me show you how
A
to keep the wheels turnin’ you’ve got to
keep the engine churnin’
D Em F#m G
but did you ever milk a cow
A
i had the chance one day
but i was all dressed up for sunday

G F
everybody , everywhere
E7 A
do you really care
Bm Bm/A G
pick up your heads and walk
A Bm C#m D G7
we can talk about it now

C E7
it seems to me we’ve been holding something
F
underneath our tongues
C E7
i’m afraid if you ever got a pat on the back
F G
it would likely burst your lungs

A E
oh , stop me if i should sound
A E
kinda down in the mouth
A E
but i’d rather be burned in canada
A D A A/C#
than to freeze here in the south

D Em F#m G
pulling that eternal plough
A
we’ve got to find a sharper blade
or have a new one made
D Em F#m G
rest awhile and cool your brow
A
don’t you see there’s no need to slave
the whip is in the grave

G F
no salt , no trance
E7 A
it’s safe now to take a backward glance
Bm Bm/A G
because the flames have turned to chalk
A Bm C#m D
we can talk about it now
A Bm C#m D
we can talk about it now
