  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

  

  D                     Bm

  When you find you can somehow

  G                    D

  Make it like all the rest

  Bm                                            A

  You won't need to scrounge around for someone else

       G           D

  Torn between the unknown

          G              D

  And the place you call home

          F#m                          A

  And the life you want but have never known

  

              D

  There was a time

            G/D                Bm

  You could put it out of your mind

      G            Bm

  And leave it all behind

              A

  There was a time

                   G      D G/D

  And that time is gone

  

  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

  

              D                 D/G                 Bm

  There was a time when nothing seemed to make much sense

             G           Bm

  Now that's turned more intense

                                  A

  And all the grudges you've kept around

          G       D     G/D

  Now are nowhere to be found

  

  (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
