Intro
Em
verse 1
Em Em-1 Em-2 Em-3 G/E
We pushed the horses as long as we could
Am-1 Am-2 Am-3 G/A
Over Coolie Pass into Sierra Woods
Em-1 Em-2 Em-3 G/E
Burned the wagon wheels for heat, for food, we
Am-1 Am-2 Am-3 G/A
Cut down Timothy Gant to die, the twelve could make it through
C G
Time to go, time to go, go
C G G/F# Em
Time to go, time to go, go, go
C G
Time to go, time to go, go, go
C G G/F# Em
Time to go, time to go, go, go
C G
We'll never come back, it's time to go
C G
Try to make it to the shore, it's time to go
C G G/F# Em
And now I know, it's time to go
verse 2
Em-1 Em-2 Em-3 G/E
In Bakersfield we found a planned community, with
Am-1 Am-2 Am-3 G/A
Plentiful two bedrooms and full amenities
Em-1 Em-2 Em-3 G/E
We sold the horses, we sold our guns
Am-1 Am-2 Am-3 G/A
A specter of Timothy Gant appeared on my lawn, and told me to run
C G
It's time to go, time to go, time to go
C G G/F# Em
Time to go, time to go, go, go
C G
Time to go, time to go, go, go
C G G/F# Em
Time to go, time to go, go, go
C G
We'll never make it back, it's time to go
C G
And vanish through the cracks, of molten ash
C G G/F# Em
Don't know what you had, it's time to go
