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 [Chorus] [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 Never mind who you gave 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 the wrong time for me It was the wrong time for anyone but Looks like I'm 'bout to see for myself There all alone Solo backing: Bm A E Bm (x2) Bm F#m E E7 Bm A E E7 [Gtr. melody backing] Bm A E E7 There was a time 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! Chords used:
