Time in Bolinas is so very small,
The clock on the courthouse ain't working at all,
And the (Am)Mayor of Bolinas (Am/C)is (Am)digging for clams,

Chasing the trains as far as they go,
But the (Am)train disappears in (Am/C)its (Am)own westward dot
And the (Fj7)two little figures now (Fj9)stand on the spot
Where (g)all that (Bm7)mighty (Em)iron (G7)
Had (C)ro(C/B)lled…(Am) (high notes run b d b g a) (hold)
And the track now is (Em)cold.
