Intro  G G 

G 
I found it in an old cigar box 
Cadd9 
A timeless treasure my daddy forgot he put there 
G 
A gold faced Elgin pocketwatch 
Cadd9 *** 
He carried in his overalls all those years 
Em C G 
And I wound it up and I held it up to my ear 
Em C D 
And I listened as it ticked away the years 
Em C G D 
And it took me back there in his lap sitting 'neath an old shade tree 
Cadd9 D 
As he wound it for the hundredth time and spoke these words to me 



Cadd9 G 
He said time waits on no one 
Cadd9 G 
Like a train it just rolls on 
Em 
It's more precious than gold 
C 
With hands you can't hold 
G Em C 
You think it won't run out but it will 
Cadd9 Em C D G 
And boy, only a woman can make time stand still 



G Cadd9 Em C D G 


G 
Well I remember plain as day 
Cadd9 
The Good Lord callin' pop away, and how I cried 
G 
Well it seemed like slow motion then 

I can't believe how long it's been 
Cadd9 *** 
Oh he was right, time does fly 
Em C G 
Today I'm gonna tell that boy of mine 
Em C D 
Pass daddy's words of wisdom down the line 




That time waits on no one 
Like a train it just rolls on 
It's more precious than gold 
With hands you can't hold 
You thin it won't run out but it will 
And only a woman can make time stand still 


G Em 

And he said only a woman can make time stand still 

G Cadd9 

I found it in an old cigar box 
A timeless treasure my daddy forgot he put there..
