2011-09-22 A forgotten song – My Guitar Chords for Time by the Pozo-Seco Singers

Hi all,

So, a friend gave me a link to this song on Youtube. I liked it and wanted to play and sing along on guitar but I couldn’t find the guitar chords online, only the lyrics.

Update: Youtube  might be blocking playing this song on WordPress. Something about “SME Content” …

If so you can find it here youtube.com/watch?v=qNU5t3k7cEA

Pozo-Seco Singers Group back in 1968 – Don Williams and Lofton Kline and Susan Taylor.

Credit to youtube channel:  rockwithstone  for posting a very nice video !!!

But where are the guitar chords online  ?

Since, I’m a very lousy guitar player and don’t have a good musical ear I haven’t ever tried to listen to a song and figure out the chords before, below is my very first attempt.

Feel free to comment and correct me. I might be completely off. But it may help someone else that is looking for this.

If the basic chords are NOT available on the web then no beginners can learn to play this song.  Hopefully, we get some comments to bring this song back to life.

Warning on Chords – I experimented with these chords to try and play along with original recording.

TIME by Pozo-Seco Singers Written By Michael.Merchant  ( around 1966 )
Capo 1:  seems to match the original female voice recording I heard on Youtube
Capo 3: matches my voice better
Intro:   …

(A)Some people       (Bm) run,                 (E)some people     (A)crawl,
(A)Some people       (Bm) don’t even       (E)move at             (A)all.
(A)Some roads lead (Bm) forwards;        (E)some roads lead(A) back.
(A)Some roads are   (Bm) bathed in light; (E)some wrapped in fearful(A) black.
Chorus
(A)Time,  oh         (Bm) time                    (E) where did you  (A) go? (A) …
(A)Time,  oh         (Bm) good, good time (E) where did you  (A) go? (A) …

(A)Some people (Bm) never get,         (E) some never     (A) give
(A)Some people (Bm) never die and   (E) some never     (A) live
(A)Some people (Bm) treat me mean (E) some treat me (A) kind
(A)Most folks just (Bm) go their way  (E) don’t pay me any (A) mind

(A)Time,  oh         (Bm) time                    (E) where did you  (A) go? (A) …
(A)Time,  oh         (Bm) good, good time (E) where did you  (A) go? (A) …

(A) Sometimes I’m (Bm)satisfied;     (E)sometimes I’m (A) not.
(A) Sometimes my (Bm)face is cold, (E)sometimes it’s (A) hot.
(A) Sunset I            (Bm)laugh;          (E) sunrise I         (A) cry,
(A) At midnight I’m (Bm) in between (E)and wondering (A) why.

(A)Time,  oh         (Bm) time                    (E) where did you  (A) go? (A) …
(A)Time,  oh         (Bm) good, good time (E) where did you  (A) go?

BTW, famous Country Western Singer – Don Williams was in this group !

Update on 9/23/2011  – Hold your horses on those CHORDS !!!

Thanks to wikipedia, I found more info on the group here.

I then found out that Susan Taylor is now called Taylor Pie.

Then I search Youtube for her and found her wonderful video here.

On this video I can see they are playing in the key of G.

So I believe the chords for the original recording  ( key of A with capo 1 ) may be  WRONG !!!

Now to try and figure out from the video. After the initial G chord she slides her hand down the neck to ? and back to Am so it looks like  G Am D G  with no capo repeated  ( instead of  A Bm E A  capo 1)
Taylor Pie with The Cumberland Trio – Time

Wow, also found these…

Music Video – Taylor Pie with Eben Wood

Looks like I can see the guitar neck up close in a few shots ! Sweet

2010 video here in a quiet room setting – very sweet !

Wow, her voice seems to be even richer now. Enjoy !
