Looking for a Way Out/There was a Time Sauget Wind EP Uncle Tupelo By: Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy Marcus Winfree These chords are for the earlier version of the song, when it was called "There was a Time"- this is how it sounds on the b-side of Sauget Wind. Intro: / When you find you can somehow Make it like all the rest You won't need to scrounge around for someone else Torn between the unknown And the place you call home And the life you want but have never known There was a time You could put it out of your mind And leave it all behind There was a time And that time is gone What has life for 50 years In this town done for you Except to earn your name and place on a barstool You spend your whole life in this county You've never been out of state You say you're going to make it out before it's too late There was a time You could put it out of your mind And leave it all behind There was a time And that time is gone There was a time when nothing seemed to make much sense Now that's turned more intense And all the grudges you've kept around Now are nowhere to be found (Hammer on the 6th string, 2nd fret - then hammer 5th string, second fret, then play the E note, 4th string, second fret, then play D chord) Remember when you didn't have To look ahead or behind you There was always something right there to do But now it's locked (maybe "life"- I dunno) in some kind of trap Looking for a way out We keep moving on that's what it's all about There was a time You could put it out of your mind And leave it all behind There was a time And that time is gone
