Tuning: G C E A (G C E A) Guns N' Roses - There Was a Time Album: Chinese Democracy (2008) Intro: Bm F#m E Bm Bm6 Bm Broken glass and cigarettes A Writin' on the wall E It was a bargain for the summer B And I thought I had it all Bm I was the one who gave you everything A The one who took the fall E You were the one who would do anything B The one who can't recall Bm Where she was while she was sleepin' A In another women's bed E Or the doctor's or the lawyer's B Or the stranger that she met Bm If there's nothing I can gain from this A Or anything at all E It'd be the knowledge that you gave me E When I thought I'd heard it all Chorus: E Fmaj7#11 It was a long time for you G6 E Fmaj7#11 It was a long time for me G6 E Fmaj7#11 It'd be a long time for anyone but E Fmaj7#11 G6 Looks like it's meant to be Same chords as last verse: Social class and registers Cocaine in the hall All the way from California On the way to your next call To those non-negotiations To simulate a cause For the betterment of evils And your ways around the laws That keep you up and sitting pretty On a pedestal or bed And now you're sleeping like an angel Near the man who you give head If there's somethin' I can make of this Or anything at all It'd be the devil hates a loser And you thought you had it all Chorus: It was the wrong time for you It was the wrong time for me It was the wrong time for anyone but Looks like I'm 'bout to see for myself D C#m If I could go back in time E7 To the place in my soul There all alone G F# Lonely teardrops, ooh Bm Are callin' you A G But I don't want to know it now F#m Cause knowin' you E E7 It won't change a damn thing Bm Bm6 But there was a time Solo backing: Bm A E Bm (x2) Bm F#m E E7 Bm A E E7 Bm Yeah there was a time A Didn't wanna know it all... E Didn't wanna know it all... (E7) And I don't wanna know it now (Repeat once more) Gtr. melody backing: Bm A E E7 Bm A E I would do anything for you There was a time Bm A E I would do anything for you Bm A E I would do anything for you There was a time (Just keep playing Bm, A, E, (E7) throughout the rest of the song, with the long solo and the crazy coda) Well, that's it for this song! Cheers y'all!
