     A
The many roads I've covered
     F#
The many trails I've burned
      B
But when our paths did cross, love, whew
     E
My whole world made a turn

E              A
And we've got time to kill
A               E
What a thrill, June and July
          D
We've got all our love
D               E
Buckets of the tears that we cried

Chorus:
                     A
Now we don't cry no more
                D
Gonna bolt the door
                       E
Don't know what we've got
                     D            E    D  A
But it feels like a lot we don't need no more

When my day's work is done
We can take in a jamboree
But I just wanna sit down by the fire
With my love right here beside me

We've got time to kill
Catskill
Sweet by and by
We've got all our love
The sky above
The twinkle in your eye

Chorus:
Now where the wheel might roll
Is where my love and I shall go
We're gonna plant the seed,
there ain't nothing we need
We found our own rainbow

My love wants to have her fortune read
And I know that she's in a hurry
If we go along the straight and narrow
You don't even have to worry

We've got time to kill
Standin' still
Go on, give it a try
We've got all our love
Mountains of
The trees are so high

Chorus:
We don't need no big car
Don't eat no caviar
When we come to rest we take to the nest
You know where we are
