Guns N' Roses - There Was a Time
Album: Chinese Democracy (2008)
Transcribed by Jon Malmin (jogusmal@hotmail.com)

There doesn't seem to be any transcriptions of this song in standard E tuning. 
I find that for an acoustic version, E tuning is far better and makes it easier too,
since the song is in B minor and that's an easy key to play in.
(Chord instructions are at the bottom of the page, for those interested)

Intro: Bm  F#m  E  Bm  Bm6

Bm        Broken glass and cigarettes
AWritin' on the wall
           EIt was a bargain for the summer
       BAnd I thought I had it all
          BmI was the one who gave you everything
    AThe one who took the fall
             EYou were the one who would do anything
    BThe one who can't recall
          BmWhere she was while she was sleepin'
    AIn another women's bed
        EOr the doctor's or the lawyer's
        BOr the stranger that she met
           BmIf there's nothing I can gain from this
    AOr anything at all
             EIt'd be the knowledge that you gave me
        EWhen I thought I'd heard it all

[Chorus]
          E           Fmaj7#11It was a long time for you
    G6    E           Fmaj7#11It was a long time for me
      G6   E              Fmaj7#11    It'd be a long time for anyone but
E         Fmaj7#11       G6Looks 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 a long time)
It was the wrong time for me
(It was a long time)
It was the wrong time for anyone but
(It was a long time)
Looks like I'm 'bout to see for myself

D             C#mIf I could go back in time
        E7To the place in my soul
There all alone
G                 F#Lonely teardrops, ooh
             BmAre callin' you
    A                        GBut I don't want to know it now
               F#mCause knowin' you
                       E    E7It won't change a damn thing
                Bm     Bm6But there was a time

Solo backing:
Bm  A  E  Bm (x2)
Bm  F#m  E  E7
Bm  A  E  E7

BmYeah there was a time
ADidn't wanna know it all...
EDidn'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            EI 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!
