There Was A Time Cifras

[Intro]
Am
 
[Verse]
Am
They sit and wait
Dm                             E
Waiting for the light to fade away
           Am
Perhaps to rise another day to sit and wait
              Dm           F             G
Another month, another year and still be here
             C                   E
The same old place, the same old chair
      F
Every day is much the same
   E
It only changes name
             Am
They sit and wait

[Verse]
N.C.        Am
There was a time
     Dm                                      E
When hope was in their hearts and drove them on
            Am
There was a time to carry on, this was their time
                   Dm      F                    G
For they were young and unafraid and plans were made
           C               E
Before the flowers came to fade
          F
But those days have passed away
              E
And they just look at you and say
            Am
There was a time
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
N.C.         Am
Oh, how they danced
     Dm                            E
They all remember clear, how they danced
                 Am
They danced with ribbons in their hair, and how they sang
     Dm                 F              G
When wedding bells were rung and sung again
              C          E
For they were busy being young
          F
When they close their eyes it seems
              E
They're still dancing in their dreams
             Am
And how they danced
F        E         Am
How they danced
