Intro: |G   Am|G   |D   |Em   |C   |G   |Am   |C/B Am Am/G# D|G   Am|G

           G         Am   G                   D                Em
When I was young, my mama told me, she said, "Child, take your time
      C                  G      Am                  C
Don't fall in love too quickly before you know your mind"
         G       Am          G               D                 Em
And she held me 'round the shoulder and in a voice so soft and kind
           C                  G         Am                 G
She said, "Love can make you happy, and love can rob you blind"


Am   D         G
Here   in California
    Am          D             Em
The fruit hangs heavy on the vine
            C                   G
There's no gold, I thought I'd warn ya
        Am         D                   G
And the hills turn brown in the summertime


     G     Am        G            D              Em 
Well I may learn to love you, but I  - can't say when
     C                  G             Am                 C
This morning we were strangers, and tonight we're only friends
         G       Am         G           D                 Em
But I'll take my time to know you, I'll take my time to see
             C                 G                 Am                  G
Well there's nothing I won't show you, if you'll take your time with me


Chorus

        G        Am      G       D              Em
It's an old - familiar story, an old familiar rhyme
        C                  G              Am                 C
To everything there is a season, to every purpose there's a time
           G       Am      G                  D                 Em
A time to love and come together, a time when love longs for a name
             C                 G                Am                  G
A time for questions we can't answer, though we ask them just the same
