Email: Prime-Prine@hotmail.com Tuning: Standard (CAPO 3rd fret) Artist: John Prine Album: Sweet Revenge Year: 1973 D G D Time was once just a clock to me D G A And life was just a book a biography D G D Success was something you just had to be D G A And I would spend myself unknowingly G A D And you know that I could have me a million more friends D A And all Id have to lose is my point of view D G But I had no idea what a good time would cost A D Till last night when I sat and talked with you. ( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/john_prine/a_good_time_crd.html ) D G D An apple will spoil if its been abused D G A A candle disappears when its been used D G D A rainbow may follow up a hurricane D G A And I cant leave forever on a train G A D And you know that Id survive if I never spoke again D A And all Id have to lose is my vanity D G But I had no idea what a good time would cost A D Till last night when you sat and talked with me. D G D You can smile for the lack of something else to do D G A And no one will laugh and point at you D G D If your tears didnt always make me feel so bad D G A Would you still cry every time that you felt sad? G A D I thought Id heard and seen enough to get along D A Till you said something neither of us knew D G And I had no idea what a good time would cost A D D Till last night when I sat and talked with you.
