Right For The Time

Waylon Jennings


Tom: A

      A
        Almost out of adolescence
            D                        A
        And into a world we didn't know

        Not necessary love
                 D             A       E
        But in trouble with a fire down below
                 A
        Looking back for a feelin'
                   D                            A
        It's just something far away and long ago
                D      A        E
        I can still recall the name
                                                A
        But she's really someone i don't even know


[Chorus]
      A              D
        But she was right for the time
      A          D     A       E
        She was right for the time
                                     A
        But time has a way of moving on


[Verse 2]
      A
        I do recall a gypsy lady
               D                     A
        And a younger man in over his head

        I was her believer
              D            A         E
        Taken in by every loving word she said
                 A
        It was there for the first time
              D                            A
        The sweet and the bitter taste of love
                     D    A     E
        When you're young and alive
                                     A
        Too much never seems to be enough


[Verse] (a tone higher)
      B
        It seems the young and the innocent
              E                      B
        Are drawn like a moth to a flame

        To the wild and the reckless
             E             B         F#
        Believing they are one in the same
             B
        She never found a way
              E                        B
        To separate the good from the bad
                 E     B     F#
        And she never understood
                                          B
        That love was all we ever really had


[Verse]
      B          E
        She was right for the time
                                     B
        But time has a way of moving on
                              F#
        With her eyes on tomorrow
                                             B
        One day she turned around and i was gone
                     E
        I'd have to say in a way
                                       B
        She just might be better off alone
                 E     B       F#
        She was right for the time
                                     B
        But time has a way of moving on
