Here's a nice little ditty from Grand Funk's Top Forty phase from an old diehard Mark Farnar fan. BAD TIME c 1974 by Cram Renraff Co./BMJ Written by Mark Farnar

I'm in ^Clove with the girl that I'm ^Amtalkin' about I'm in ^Flove with a girl that I ^Dmcan't live without I'm in ^Flove but I sure picked a^G bad time . . . To be in ^Dmlove . .^G . to be in ^Dmlove. ^G ^Dm ^G

^DmBut let her be somebody ^Gelse's queen, I don't ^Dmwanna know a^Gbout it There's ^Dmtoo many others that ^Gknow what I mean And ^Dmthat's why I gotta live with^Gout it.

(Chorus)

I'm in ^Clove with the girl I'm ^Amtalkin' about I'm in ^Flove with a girl I ^Dmcan't live without I'm in ^Flove but I feel like I'm ^Dmlivin' it out I'm in ^Flove but I must'a picked a ^Gbad time to be in ^Dmlove.^G . . a

^Dmbad time to be in ^Glove . . . a ^Dmbad time to be in ^Glove . . . a ^Dmbad time to be in ^Glove.

^DmAll the stories comin' ^Gback to me About my ^Dmfriends and the people I don't ^Gwanna see

The ^Dmthings they say I know just ^Gcouldn't be true Least ^Dmnot till I hear it from ^Gyou
