Wayside - Back In Time

Gillian Welch


Tom: G

G     G G/F# Em


[Verse 1]

G                                          C
Standing on the corner with a nickel or a dime
      C             G                  G/F#       Em
There use to be a rail car to take you down the line
G                                        C
Too much beer and whiskey to ever be employed
    C               G                         G/F#     Em
And when I got to Nashville, it was too much soldiers joy
G                                     C
Wasted on the wayside, wasted on the way
  C              G                  G/F#    Em
If I don’t go tomorrow, you know I’m gone today


[Chorus]

G                  C
Back baby, back in time
            G                  Em
I wanna go back when you were mine
G                  C
Back baby, back in time
            Em  D               G
I wanna go back   when you were mine

Bm                      C
Black highway all night ride
             Em   D                   C
Watching the times  fall away to the side
Bm                      C
Clear channel way down low
              Em D                   C
Is comin’ in loud   and my mind let go


[Verse 2]

G                                         C
Peaches in the summertime, apples in the fall
   C                 G                         G/F#    Em
If I can’t have you all the time, I won’t have none at all
G                                                C
I wish I was in Frisco in a brand new pair of shoes
    C                G                      G/F#      Em
I’m sittin’ here in Nashville with Norman’s Nashville blues
   G                                           C
So come you good time rounders listenin’ to my sound
         C                 G                  G/F#    Em
And then drink a round to Nashville for they tear it down


[Chorus]

G                  C
Back baby, back in time
            G                  Em
I wanna go back when you were mine
G                  C
Back baby, back in time
            Em  D               G
I wanna go back   when you were mine

Bm                     C
Hard weather, drivin’ slow
                Em   D                 C
Buggies and the hats   in town for the show
Bm                          C
Oh darlin', the songs they played
          Em   D                 C
All I got left   is the love we made

G                    C
Back baby, back in time
             G                 Em
I wanna go back when you were mine
G                   C
Back baby, back in time
            Em  D               G
I wanna go back   when you were mine
