Song Title: Another Time   Artist: Pearls Before Swine
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Tabbed by James McKinnon.

This song, from The Pearls' first album, One Nation Underground (1967), is reputedly the first song 
that Tom Rapp ever wrote and one of their finest. Delightfully surreal lyrics, whose meaning is left
up to the listener and a beautiful tune sung beautifully. This sounds great on an electrified acoustic
with a touch of reverb.

 Tuning:Standard.
 \ = slide down
 h = hammer-on
 / = accent
 Time: 4/4
