Time Was

DmDm        Gm6Gm6
Time was I had a dream
  A augmentedA                DmDm
The sky was so blue, the meadow so green
 Gm6Gm6           DmDm
A augmentedA time in the fire of my youth
 Bb majorBb                         A augmentedA
A majorA time when a dreamer had time for a dream to come true

    D MajorD  /F# G+G     A augmentedA       D MajorD  /F# G+G A augmentedA
Oh, but time is a handful of sand to an old man
   D MajorD  /F# G+G       A augmentedA      B minorBm
While time is a warm place to stand for a young man
  E7E7          G+G     C majorC      A augmentedA
To stand any man with a young girl watching the tide roll in

Time was I had a dream
Certain and sure I could do anything
A augmentedA time so long ago Once I knew
A augmentedA place in my heart where a dream would come true

Oh time is a rock and roll band to a young man
While time is a warm loving hand to an old man
A augmentedA strong loving shoulder to lean on and watch the children at play

D MajorD  /F# G+G A augmentedA    D MajorD  /F# G+G A augmentedA
Time was  I had a dream
D MajorD  /F# G+G A augmentedA    D MajorD  /F# G+G A augmentedA
Time was  I had a dream
B minorBm               G+G
My dream was to stand here and sing
D MajorD       E minorEm  G+G A augmentedA
Stand here and sing

DmDm      Gm6Gm6
 I have had mountains and mountains
       A augmentedA         DmDm
And mountains in the palm of my hand
