Al Stewart - Time Passages

VERSE 1
Eb / / /                          Gm / Ab /              
It was late in December. The sky turned to snow.
Ab / Bb /                (Cm-Bb-Ab)
All'round the day was going down slow. 
Eb / / /                       Gm / Ab /            
Night, like a river, beginning to flow
Ab / Bb /                  (Cm-Bb-Ab)           
I felt the beat of my mind go drifting into

Well, I'm not the kind to live in the past.
Ab / Bb /                        (Cm-Bb-Ab)
The years run too short and the days too fast. 
Eb / / /                       Gm / Ab /      
The things you lean on are things that don't last. 
Ab / Bb /                        (Cm-Bb-Ab)     
Well it's just now and then my line gets cast into these

to turn.

Well, the picture is changing. Now you're part of a crowd. 
Ab / Bb /                        (Cm-Bb-Ab)
They're laughing at something, the music's loud.
