Time To Kill
Deep Purple
Here`s a first draft of one of the songs from the new album - rather poppy which
means the main riff isn`t particularly difficult. Mostly perfect fourths in
typical Blackmore fashion. I haven`t worked out the solo or the bits over the
verse because there`s lots going on and I couldn`t be bothered
If anyone works out anymore, please send me the details and I`ll incorporate it
into a master version.

(play riff 1 * 4) + through chorus
Consider your position position your defense
Why don`t you let me ask you is it coincidence
Feeding speculators on a downhill gravy train
Like vultures ripping out the eyes to reach the dying brain
Listen to the wind - a silent scream

Tearing at your broken heart
Like a forgotten dream
And there`s a time for peace a time for war
Wondering what we`ve been put here for
A time for giving a time to take
A time for love and a time for hate
A time to beg and a time to steal
So you gamble on that spinning wheel
Of all these things I`ve had my fill
Lord I need some time to kill
Ten percent of nothing is exactly what you got
You think you`ve got the given right to take another shot
I`ll take away your money all you`ve got is coloured beads
Find a piece of land where you can sow your seeds
Listen to the wind - a silent scream
(fill 1)
Tearing at your broken heart
Like a forgotten dream
There`s a time for passion a time for pain
A time to learn that we`re all the same
A time to remember a time to forget
Wondering how we`re going to pay our debts
A time for thunder a time for rain
Waiting for the seasons to change
Of all these things I`ve had my fill
Lord I need some time to kill
repeat both chorus`s
[organ outro]
