Songtext We can talk The Band

We can talk

D Em7 D G
We can talk about it now
A
It's that same old riddle only starting from the middle
D Em D 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
One voice for all
F E7 A
Echoing across the hall
Bm G
Don't give up on father clock
A D A
We can talk about it now
D Em D G
Come, let me show you how
A
To keep the wheels turnin' you've got to keep the engine churnin'
D Em D G
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 G
Pick up your heads and walk
A D G7
We can talk about it now
C E7 F
It seems to me we've been holding something 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 E7 A E7
Woh, stop me, if I should sound kinda down in the mouth
A E7 A
But I'd rather be burned in Canada than to freeze here in the south
D Em Dm G
Pulling that eternal plough
A
We've got to find a sharper blade or have a new one made
D Em D G
Rest awhile and cool your brow
A
Don't need it, 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 G
The leaves have turned to chalk
A D A D
We can talk about it now,
A D
We can talk about it now
