Wayside / Back In Time
Gillian Welch
Capo 2
Each written chord gets 2 beats
Intro: / C - G - / G - Em - /
G G G C
Standing on the corner with a nickel or a dime
C G G Em
There used to be a rail car to take you down the line
G G G C
Too much beer and whiskey to ever be employed
C G G Em
And when I got to Nashville, it was too much soldiers joy
G G G C
Wasted on the wayside, wasted on the way
C G G Em
If I don’t go tomorrow, you know I’m gone today
G G C C
Back baby, back in time
G G Em Em
I wanna go back when you were mine
G G C C
Back baby, back in time
Em D G G
I wanna go back when you were mine
Bm Bm C C
Black highway all night ride
Em D C C
Watching the times fall away to the side
Bm Bm C C
Clear channel way down low
Em D C C
Is comin’ in loud and my mind let go
G G G C
Peaches in the summertime, apples in the fall
C G G Em
If I can’t have you all the time, I won’t have none at all
G G G C
Oh, I wish I was in Frisco in a brand new pair of shoes
C G G Em
I’m sittin’ here in Nashville with Norman’s Nashville blues
G G G C
So come all you good time rounders listenin’ to my sound
C G G Em
And then drink a round to Nashville before they tear it down
Chorus
Bm Bm C C
Hard weather, drivin’ slow
Em D C C
Buggies and the hats are in town for the show
Bm Bm C C
Oh darlin, the songs they played
Em D C C
All I got left of lovin’ me
Chorus
