The Stray Birds - Shining In The Distance Chords

[Verse 1: Maya de Vitry]
C                 F     C
All the gold and silver too
C        F          C
Shining in the distance
C                   F        C
And all I wish to spend with you
        Am       G          C
Is it not time, is it not time?
 
 
[Verse 2: Backing vocals by Charles Muench & Oliver Craven]
 C                    F        C
Like hanging fruit upon the tree
C        F      C
Shining in the distance
C                     F      C
Between the orchard and the sea
        Am       G          C
Is it not time, is it not time?           
 
 
[Chorus]
C         Am F C
Is it not ti I me,
          Am F C
is it not ti I me?
 
 
[Verse 3]
C                   F        C
That sunlit house upon the hill
 C        F            C
Shining in the distance
 C                 F         C
A prize to hold, a cup to fill
C          Am     G          C
Is it not time, is it not time?
 
C                   F       C
We will not wait, barely begun
C        F      C
Shining in the distance
C                      F     C
But if my day should never come
        Am       G          C
Is it not time, is it not time?           
 
 
[Chorus]
C        Am F C
Is it not ti I me,
          Am F C
is it not ti I me?
 
 
[Verse]
C                  F         C
Bells of sorrow start their ringing
C       F       C
Shining in the distance
C               F          C
Oh, how can we keep from singing?
        Am       G          C
Is it not time, is it not time?                             
 
 
[Chorus]
C         Am F C
Is it not ti I me,
          Am F C
is it not ti I me?
