::::::::::::::::::::: Looking for a Way Out ::::::::::::::::::::: By: Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy Tabbed by: 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: D G/D Bm G Bm A G D G/D D Bm When you find you can somehow G D Make it like all the rest Bm A You won't need to scrounge around for someone else G D Torn between the unknown G D And the place you call home F#m A And the life you want but have never known D There was a time G/D Bm You could put it out of your mind G Bm And leave it all behind A There was a time G D G/D 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 D D/G Bm There was a time when nothing seemed to make much sense G Bm Now that's turned more intense A And all the crutches you've kept around G D G/D 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 life 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 Marcus rmw5h@uva.pcmail.virginia.edu From: Weirdo Subject: Looking For A Way Out CHORDS Date: Thu, 13 Jan 1994 02:15:35 -0500 (EST) Well here's another one I sluff along thru...

Notes: There are some places where you need to fake a couple of runs like on the G's during the verses. And a couple of D's and A's lift your finger place on the highest string - meaning the high e when playing a D and the b when playing an A. When playing the bridge I sometimes don't play the G (turned more intense) part. The 320303 chord requires you bend the G string up a half step to get that nice country octave effect. Have fun!
