Lyrics

[Intro]
| Em | C/G | A7 | Am9/G |
| Em | C/G | A7 | Am9/G |

[Verse 1]
Em              C/G
  Darling, remember
Asus2/E           Am9/G     Em
       When you come   to me
              C/G
I'm the pretender
       A7           Am9/G
And not  what I'm supposed to be

[Chorus]
Am7                  C/G         G
   But who could know   if I'm a traitor?
D/A               Am7        C/G
   Time's the revelator oh...

[Verse 2]
Em                  C/G
  They caught the katy
A7                Am9/G       Em
  And left me a mule   to ride
            C/G
The fortune la dy
  A7                Am9/G
Came along, she walked   beside

[Chorus]
Am7            C/G          G
   But every word seemed to date her
D/A               Asus2/E    C/G
   Time's the revelator oh...
        G6   D/A
The revelator

[Solo 1]
             | Em | C/G |
| A7 | Am9/G | Em | C/G |

[Verse 3]
Em             C/G
  Up in the morning
Asus2/E         C/G        Em
       Up and on   the ride
               C/G
I drive into Corning
A7                Am9/G
  And all the spindles whine

[Chorus]
Am7             C/G            G        D/A
   And every day   is getting straighter
               Am          C/G
Time's the revelator ohh...
        G6   D/A
The revelator

[Verse 4]
Em              C/G
  Leaving the valley
A7           Am9/G
  Fucking out     of sight
Em                  C/G
  I'll go back to Cali
       A7               Am9/G
Where I  can sleep out every night

[Chorus]
Am7                C/G          G        D/A
   And watch the waves and move the fader
               Am         C/G
Time's the revelator oh...
        G6   D/A
The revelator

[Post-Chorus]
Am/E           C/G        G     D/A
    Queen of fakes and imitators
               Am           Am9/G
Time's the revelator! Oh!...
