THERE WAS A TIME   JAMES BROWN chords
Start Jamming...
[Ebm] [Ab] [Ebm]
There was a day, there was a time when I used to dance.
There was a time when I used to praise.
But did me now, baby, don't worry my lady.
[Ab] [Ebm] Big good days I used to see, they call them mad potatoes.
[Ab] [Ebm]
There was a day, I think there's, there was a day, they call a trite.
Everybody relax and watch me work.
In my hometown where I used to stay, the name of the place is Augusta, GA.
Hey, we have a good time, we don't talk, ha.
We all get together and type a welcome thing with you, for Camel Walk.
Ah!
Look here, dig this out.
Now there was a day that I used to do, the name of the dance, they call a boogaloo.
I may not do the dance as well as you, ha, but baby, you can bet your bottom dollar,
you'll never hear me call her, I'll do the best that I can do.
Ah!
Look here, feeling good.
There was a time, sometime I danced.
Look here, sometime I danced, sometime I clowned.
But you can bet, you haven't seen nothing yet, until you see me do the James Brown.
Ah!
