TIME HAS TOLD ME

Tuning Standard
Capo 4th fret
     
As 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:          "troubled cure" bit:
     
----|-(5)--------|------------|  |-3----------(2)----- 
----|-(3)--------|-2-2--2-3-2-|  |2-2---3------3------ 
----|2--2--2-4-2-|-2-2--2-2-2-|  |4--4--2------4-----1 
----|0--0--0-0-0-|-2-2--2-4-2-|  |2--2--0(4?)--4-----2 
----|0--0--0---0-|0---00-0-0-0|  |0-----0------2/0---2 
0-00|2---20203020|------------|  |-------------------0
                                                 *

(* - 24232 may sound less radical than 04432 as the link
to the next chord, though i believe 04432 is more accurate)
     
     
link to main bit:       link to "leave the ways":
     
-|-------               -|-------
-|-------               -|-------
-|1-2-1--               -|1-1-1--
-|2-2-2--               -|2-2-2--
-|2-4-2--               -|2-3-4--
0|-0-0-0                0|-0-0-0-
     
     
"leave the ways":
     
-------------------------------------------- 
--2-----1-(3/1)----0--0-----0------(then---- 
--4-----3---------2--2------2------one of--- 
--3-----2----------0--0-----1------above---- 
--4-----3---------3-33-3----2------links)---
