Cuckoo Time
by Dave Robinson, 12 June 2024
intro (G harp option): Am … C … G … G … (repeat)
verse 1
D when you play the losing game, there’ll be C no-one else to blame
they’re D gonna hang their heads in shame, at the C mention of your name
if your Am fortune and your fame become the C source of your disdain
there will G be no moral victory, in Am such complexity
verse 2
my D perspective won’t be hi-jacked by the C lure of easy money
you may be D lookin’ like a clown, but I C do not find you funny
my Am pain is not a trophy, on C which to hang your hat
or the G handle of a knife with which you Am stab me in the back
reprise
there is C thunder on the mountain, and G lightning on the plain
flood D waters in the valley now it’s C happening again
if you G can’t control your frankenstein your D dracula ain’t worth a dime
in the C sands of time, when your clock chime, then G you will know it’s cuckoo time
fill (G harp option): Am … C … G … G … (repeat)
verse 3
he was a D loser in the game of life, he got C too much on his plate
he D tried to change his destiny but went C messing with his fate
Am among the pomp and pleasantry, he got him C self into a state
if he don’t G find some common ground then he’ll be Am lost at any rate
verse 4
they left their D captain in a lifeboat, he was C driving men insane
there was a D mutiny on the bounty, but C nothing much to gain
the Am ship would run aground on a C desert island reef
the G sailors tried to settle, one by Am one they came to grief
reprise
there is C thunder on the mountain, and G lightning on the plain
flood D waters in the valley now it’s C happening again
if you G can’t control your frankenstein your D dracula ain’t worth a dime
in the C sands of time, when your clock chime, then G you will know it’s cuckoo time
fill (G harp option): Am … C … G … G … (repeat)
verse 5
with D shock and awe the king will come in C peace to end all war
D finally, we’ll reach a shore where C sin will be no more
Am will you meet me there, where we’ll be C walking on thin air
for G then we will not care .. that Am life was seldom fair
verse 6
I got D hyper-optic vision now in C side my steely eye
I see D gold-fish in the river and golden C eagles in the sky
I Am can read every letter and C interpret every word
I got good G vision on my side now that my Am eyes are open wide
reprise
there is C thunder on the mountain, and G lightning on the plain
flood D waters in the valley now it’s C happening again
if you G can’t control your frankenstein your D dracula ain’t worth a dime
in the C sands of time, when your clock chime, then G you will know it’s cuckoo time
fill (G harp option): Am … C … G … G … (repeat)
verse 7
D I met jumpin’ jack flash in a C not so classy bar
with a D woman in a black dress who was C hot on bass guitar
had a Am feather in her cap but it got C tainted with tar
the G reason was right there, although they Am made it seem so far
verse 6
if you D ride the wave of discontent, you gotta C nip it in the bud
don’t consume the D fatted calf of any beast that C fail to chew the cud
well you’re Am gonna have to pay the rent on C every word you vent
fix your G vision on the destiny for Am which your soul was sent
reprise
there is C thunder on the mountain, and G lightning on the plain
flood D waters in the valley now it’s C happening again
if you G can’t control your frankenstein your D dracula ain’t worth a dime
in the C sands of time, when your clock chime, then G you will know it’s cuckoo time
end (G harp option): Am … C … G … G … (repeat)
