Time Has Told Me

Tuning: Standard

Capo: 3rd fret

Time signature: 3/4

Note: with a lot of Nick’s songs, the exact picking varies a bit. So here are the chord fingerings and passing notes—you should be able to find the rhythm OK.


Intro & main verse bit:

----|-(5)--------|------------|
----|-(3)--------|-2-2--2-3-2-|
----|2--2--2-4-2-|-2-2--2-2-2-|
----|0--0--0-0-0-|-2-2--2-4-2-|
----|0--0--0---0-|0---00-0-0-0|
0-00|2---20203020|------------|

“troubled cure” bit:

|-3----------(2)-----
|2-2---3------3------
|4--4--2------4-----1
|2--2--0(4?)--4-----2
|0-----0------2/0---2
|-------------------0
              *

* - 24232 may sound less radical than 04432 as the link to the next chord, though I believe 04432 is more accurate.
