E B
It's the last year of the Blue Men who watchdog Part Two Heaven
A E
Giving way to young ones in nineteen ninety seven
E F#m
Who follow in their footsteps and wear the breathing masks
E B A E
And answer all your questions, and ration out your tasks
C#m G#m F#m E
There will be time enough for love, and room enough to play
E B A E
For planting Pieces babies, or passing time away
C#m G#m F#m E
There will be time enough for thought, and room enough for words
E B A E
That float like pillow feathers and sing just like the birds
E B
Stock up your provisions, devise a shell rock shelter
A E
Where jovial ceilings smile down on every room you enter
E F#m
Paint windows in your gardens, and windmills on your doors
E B A E
And lock away the memory that Daddy died in war
C#m G#m F#m E
There will be time enough for love, and room enough to play
E B A E
For planting Pieces babies, or passing time away

. Turn in your number for a color bye
A G#m F# B - A - G#m - F#m
Trade in tomorrow's cake . for yesterday's pie - i - i --- i
E B
It's the last year of the full moon that shines on Part Two Heaven
A E
But we still play the moon songs from nineteen fifty seven
E F#m
The files of pleasure photos, recall us to our prime
E B A C#m
And rock-a-bye us, lullabye us back to the good old times

Note: In the recording I have, the whole song is a little sharp. If
you play along with the recording on a guitar tuned with a digital
tuner you'll find the chords in the chart just a little low. If you
play the song a half step higher you'll find the half step is too
high.
I suspect that the record's producers wanted a little more energy
from the track, and so sped it up just a little. Speeding up the
track would also make it just a little bit higher in pitch. This was
not an unusual practice when the track was recorded in 1973.
To test my theory I used iRehearse, which is a digital phrase trainer
that allows you to change the pitch and/or tempo of digital sound
files. (It's a great rehearsal tool.)
By lowering the pitch about 1/2 semi-tone (aka -50 "cents") I was
able to bring the recording back into perfect tune.
