RECORD TIME (33, 45, 78)
written by Steve Key
Performed by Kathy Mattea on "Lonesome Standard Time"
Capo 3
G
I'm spinning like an old turntable
C Em D
Three speeds, going nowhere fast
G
I hesitate at the door to the future
C Em D
Holding on to my bittersweet past
Em D G
Me and all of the percolators
Em D G
Me and all of the rotary phones
Em D G
Me and all of my vinyl records
C Em Am
Warped and scratched and out of date
C Em D G
33, 45, 78
G
I got friends from the old hometown
C Em D
We used to work at the hometown news
G
They got houses in a couple of cities
C Em D
I'm still singing those hometown blues
Em D G
Me and all of the drive-in movies
Em D G
Me and all of the afternoon papers
Em D G
Me and the free-form radio
C Em Am
Fading in and out of date --

Em D
G Em
I hear talk about a great depression
D G Em
I hear the drums of the war machine
D G
I wonder if I'm stuck in the past
Am D
Or if it all repeats, just like a CD
G
I'm following the railroad line
C Em D
Another job in an - other town
G
I skip around in record time
C Em D
And try not to notice the candle burn down
Em D G
Me and all of the Rust Belt workers
Em D G
Me and all of the hot type printers
Em D G
Me and all of the family farms
C Em Am
Auctioned off and out of date --
C Em D G
33, 45, 78
Em D G Em
oh-oh, the percolator
D G Em
Oh-oh, the rotary phone
D G
All of my vinyl records
C Em Am
Warped and scratched and out of date --
