These chords are for the earlier version of the song, when it was called
"There was a Time"- this is how it sounds on the b-side of Sauget Wind.
Intro:
D G/D Bm G Bm A G D G/D
DWhen you find you can Bmsomehow
GMake it like all the Drest
BmYou won't need to scrounge around for someone Aelse
Torn Gbetween the Dunknown
And the Gplace you call Dhome
And the F#mlife you want but have never Aknown
There was a Dtime
You could G/Dput it out of your Bmmind
And Gleave it all Bmbehind
There was a Atime
And that time is Ggone D G/D
What has life for 50 years
In this town done for you
Except to earn your name and place on a barstool
You spend your whole life in this county
You've never been out of state
You say you're going to make it out before it's too late
There was a time
You could put it out of your mind
And leave it all behind
There was a time
And that time is gone
There was a Dtime when nothing D/Gseemed to make much Bmsense
Now that's Gturned more Bmintense
And all the grudges you've kept Aaround
Now are Gnowhere Dto be G/Dfound
(Hammer on the 6th string, 2nd fret - then hammer 5th string, second fret,
then play the E note, 4th string, second fret, then play D chord)
Remember when you didn't have
To look ahead or behind you
There was always something right there to do
But now it's locked (maybe "life"- I dunno) in some kind of trap
Looking for a way out
We keep moving on that's what it's all about
There was a time
You could put it out of your mind
And leave it all behind
There was a time
And that time is gone
