I put stuff out there for a guy 
playing solo acoustic guitar.
I like open chords for the bass & 
resonation. I’ll always give
the lyrics and enough tab to get you
 going. I’m sure all the chords
have more technical names but when 
I’m playing I use this for a
reference. -Steve

I tune to standard 440 but one fret 
lower. So E is Eb etc.
E A D G B E

The * is just sliding your finger 
down a fret for the bass
line note then back to the chord 
shape

The Bm** is another chord where you 
pull off
and on with the pinky. This repeats 
continuously
through the verses.

[Bm intro*] You called me up on the 
phone today
Struggling with the right words to 
say
Time can change a thing or two
Time has changed the lives of me and
 you
But you know [A][A*][A] [G][G*][G]
it could have been [Bm] different 
dad

[Bm**] The word brings back a sweet 
memory
I’m sitting on a bluff on a broken 
tree
By my side a distinguished man
Giving me encouragement, telling me 
I can
And you know [A][A*][A] [G][G*][G]
You’re not there

[D] You say Son let’s forget the 
past
I want another chance, gonna make it
 last
You’re begging me for a brand new 
start
Trying to mend a bridge that’s been 
blown apart,
But you know [C][C*][C] [G][G*][G]
You never [Bm] built it dad

(a nice slide down the E string into
 the chord works well here)

[Em] And so I sit here through the 
[F#m] night,
And I write myself to [G] sleep,
And time keeps ticking 
[Bm][Bm**][Bm] [A][A*][A] [G][G*][G]
[Bm][Bm**][Bm] [G][G*][G] 

[F#] [Bm][Bm**][Bm]

[Bm**] Time has made you finally 
realize
Your loneliness and your guilt 
inside
You’re reaching for something you 
never had
Turning around now you’re looking 
back
And you know [A][A*][A] [G][G*][G] 
I’m not there

[D] You say “Son, let’s forget the 
past
I want another chance, gonna make it
 last”
You’re begging me for a brand new 
start,
Trying to mend a bridge that’s been 
blown apart,
But you know [C][C*][C] [G][G*][G]

You never [B] built it dad.
You never [A] built it dad.
You never [G] built it dad.
You never [F#] built it dad.
You never [Em] built it dad. [Bm]

E|--Th| is reminds me of Cat’s in 
E|the Cradle by Harry Chapin. 

If you listen to it you’ll se what 
I’m getting at. Good luck. Peace.
