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
