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
