BRIAN'S SONG (THE HANDS OF TIME)
 by Johnny Mathis

[INTRO]
G D Em C

[VERSE]
G      Gmaj7    C   D7
If the hands of time
     G         Gmaj7    C   D7
Were hands that I could hold,
G             Gmaj7    Em    Em7
I'd keep them warm and in my hands
       F  Cmaj7 Am7  D7
They'd not turn cold

[VERSE]
G       Gmaj7     C     D7
Hand in hand we'd choose
    G       Gmaj7       A7
The moments that should last
    Bm
The lovely moments
Em          Em7     Asus
That should have no future 
A      D
and no past

[CHORUS]
    Dm7                      D
The summer from the top of a swing
    Dm7
The comfort and the sound 
     Am7
of a lullaby,
    F
The innocence of leaves 
       Aaug
in the spring
    Am7         D6          C
But most of the moment when love 
      Am7     D7
first touched me

[VERSE]
G       Gmaj7 C   D7
All the happy days
      G     Gmaj7    Em7 A7
Would never learn to fly
  Cmaj7            G
Until the hands of time
      Em7       Am7    D7   G
Would choose to wave, 'good-bye'

[CHORUS]
    Dm7                      D
The summer from the top of a swing
    Dm7
The comfort and the sound 
     Am7
of a lullaby,
    F
The innocence of leaves 
       Aaug
in the spring
   Am7          D6          C
But most of the moment when love 
      Am7     D7
first touched me

[VERSE]
G       Gmaj7 C   D7
All the happy days
      G     Gmaj7    Em7 A7
Would never learn to fly
  Cmaj7            G
Until the hands of time
      Em7       Am7    
Would choose to wave, 
 D7   G   D Em C G
'good-bye'
