diehard Mark Farnar fan.
BAD TIME
c 1974 by Cram Renraff Co./BMJ Written by Mark Farnar
C Am
I'm in love with the girl that I'm talkin' about
F Dm
I'm in love with a girl that I can't live without
F G
I'm in love but I sure picked a bad time . . .
Dm G Dm G Dm G
To be in love . . . to be in love.
Dm G Dm G
But let her be somebody else's queen, I don't wanna know about it
Dm G
There's too many others that know what I mean
Dm G
And that's why I gotta live without it.
(Chorus)
C Am
I'm in love with the girl I'm talkin' about
F Dm
I'm in love with a girl I can't live without
F Dm
I'm in love but I feel like I'm livin' it out
F G Dm G
I'm in love but I must'a picked a bad time to be in love. . . a
Dm G Dm G
bad time to be in love . . . a bad time to be in love . . . a
Dm G
bad time to be in love.
Dm G
All the stories comin' back to me
Dm G
About my friends and the people I don't wanna see
Dm G
The things they say I know just couldn't be true
Dm G
Least not till I hear it from you
chorus
Guitar break

Here's the solo. It's a nice melodic little thing that proves a
lead doesn't have to be complicated to be good!
