[Intro]
Em A G D
[Verse]
G D Em G C
I teach a class of forty principles of mathematics
G D
In a fine Northeastern school
G D Em G C
I've read the great philosophies of Plato, Christ and Socrates
G D
And I live by most their rules
Em A D
But at three o'clock I start to get the blues
[Chorus]
G C
I read your advertisement in the Voice
G C Am
Seeking some companionship to pass the lonely days
G C Em A
You made no stipulations, and only signed it "Friend"
G D Em
Oh it's three o'clock, and I'm alone again
[Verse]
G D Em G C
I love to listen to the melodies of Bach and Beethoven
G D
And I think Bowie's a gas
G D Em G C
In '68 I worked for Gene and helped bring down the big machine
G D
And I prayed that it would last
Em A D
But at three o'clock I start to get the blues
[Chorus]
G C
I read your advertisement in the Voice
G C Am
Seeking some companionship to pass the lonely days
G C Em A
You made no stipulations, and only signed it "Friend"
G D Em
Oh it's three o'clock, and I'm alone again
[Verse]
G D Em G C
I have a nine room house completely furnished in the best of taste
G D
And I drive a brand new Porsche
G D Em G C
I have a Quadraphonic system with complete access to tapes
G D
And I could be a Santa Claus
Em A D
But at three o'clock I start to get these blues
[Chorus]
G C
I read your advertisement in the Voice
G C Am
Seeking some companionship to pass the lonely days
G C Em A
You made no stipulations, and only signed it "Friend"
G D Em A G D Em
Oh it's three o'clock, and I'm alone again
