Topic: The Time Was Wrong

The Time Was Wrong by Phill Williams. 9th March 2009


[C]You came from far away, [G]just to be with me.


[C]Fate sent you all that way, [G]to set me free.


[Am]You are my destiny.


[F]How lucky can I be.


[Bb]It's just the time was wrong.


[G]Please try again.




[C]You came from where the cold winds [G]bring the rain.


[C]I live in sunshine but my [G]life is pain.


[Am]You are my destiny.


[F]How lucky could I be.


[Bb]It's just the time was wrong.


[G]Please try again.


Chorus-*1




[C] It'a secret but I [G] need you near to me-[Am].


How good it is [F] living without fear.


[C] And I would take you [G] all the way-and you would see-[Am].


And I would come with [F] you if you'd just ask again-[C]




I have no reason for, the way I treated you


I guess it went too far, didn't mean it too


If this is destiny


How could I turn away


It's just the time was wrong



Please try again




Chorus-*2   




I need to think about, times to come


When everyone has gone, and I'll be on my own


`Cause everybody's only thinking of themselves


And when I need them there, they'll be gone again


solo  C-G-Am-F||-C-G-Am-F-||




[Bb]Picture me old at home [G]all by my self




Repeat Chorus *1




I cant believe I let you, walk away from me.


When there is so much more, that you and I could be.


You are my destiny


How could I let you go


Maybe the time was wrong


Please try again




Repeat Chorus-*1&*2

Hi Phil,

Great stuff! I was head-banging until I caught myself on.

Re: The Time Was Wrong

well done Phill,
great song, funny how after just reading something that doesnt look much until you hear it and read the lyrics at the same time, it certainly does change what you read.

good stuff

and as said, Great voice

Re: The Time Was Wrong

Hi guys,

thanks for the replies

Hi Ken,

yes I've always found that, I can't make much sense of what people write till I've heard it sung then it falls into place.

Hi Alan,

shall I send you some panadol? I find it helps...lol, it's funny how songs dictate how they want to be performed, when I started to write this it was a ballad!

Hello Kenny,

to be able to sing like that...indeed, I haven't been able to talk for the last couple-a-days!

The ancient Egyptians wrote in rock which is why we can still read what they had to say..ROCK ON

Re: The Time Was Wrong

thanks to you all,

lena, i like to surprise when i can

ark, glad you liked them

selso,  it's nice to have a change occasionally.

i've just heard roger's take on this song, before he's heard mine and it's great, it's got a very country feel and i'm truly surprised how a song can be so different in another persons interpretation. i really hope he'll post it so everyone can hear it.
