Time Was

E               B7
Time was when a man could live alone
  E                             
A man could build a home, have a 
 A
family of his own
    E                            
The peaceful years would flow, he 
       C#m
could watch his children grow
E            B7        E
But it was a long time ago.



[Verse 2]

E               B7
Time was when a man could have his 
land,
         E                         
He could farm it with his hands, he
     A
 was free to make a stand
         E                         
He could live a life of toil, with 
    C#m
his future in the soil,
E            B7        E
But it was a long time ago.

[Verse 3]

E               B7
Time was when a man could have his 
pride,
          E                        
There was justice on his side, and 
      A
there was no need to hide,
    E                             
The world was far away, there was

truth in every day,

But it was along time ago.
