Celery‐Time chords by Arlo Guthrie, Pete Seeger
Verse 1
G
What care I for time?
I mean, people are confused
about it anyhow.
You know, talking...
Am
What is that thing fly
G
F
ing around?
Bb
G
E
It's weird, huh?
B
Em
No, it's true.
G
You know, people are concerned.
I've been...
I was reading a book about it.
And it said that time doesn't really
Bb
exist.
G
F
just a kind of figment of your,
G
it's not even that.
But what it is, is,
and this is where it gets really
weird.
Am
I didn't finish the book, by the way,
G
but it starts talking about time
C
as a thing that happens
because people have these things
G
called cells.
C
I know it sounds crazy,
G
hard to believe,
but it's really true.
It's these little round things.
B
G
And, uh, somehow or other,
they're part of you.
Bb
And they...
G
But they don't ever touch each other,
exactly.
They're kind of like Puritan cells.
At least, that's how they act.
And some...
But they exist, you see,
because there's stuff happens between them,
kind of like a spark plug.
C
G
And that's what they call the celery gap
or something like that.
It's what, what, you're going, that's,
I read it.
It's really true.
Because people say
F
that those cells can think.
G
C
It's what you call celery consciousness.
G
And that means that vegetables can think.
And I always kind of believed that anyhow.
I mean, I never really talked
C
to him personally,
G
B
G
although I've met some in my time.
I don't know what it all means,
I never got that far.
But I thought it was interesting,
because what that means is, oh,
Am
what I was talking about,
G
was that the reason that time,
I know I'm supposed to be singing,
but you can't always do
what you're supposed to do.
But, No, but what they say is that time
exists like we know it
because cells don't touch each other.
And therefore, all the thoughts got to go
from one to the other.
And if you could stick all
the cells on top of each other
C
and then jump on them and
G
make it one big one or something,
then time would always be
now
G
and it wouldn't be what there was
C
G
an d what they're gonna be
so I've been thinking does
G
that mean
when I was here before
that I was here now
or am I not really here now
because I might be here later
or maybe it doesn't even matter
but I've been giving this
a lot of thought
because I know that there's people
out
most people out here into to that stuff,
and I just wanted to say, I'm with you. I just
