BORN IN TIME
Eric Clapton

from the album “Pilgrim” (1998)


Intro: E C#m F#m Am E

E
In the rolling night
C#m
In the stardust of a pale moonlight
F#m
I think of you in black and white
Am E
when we were made of dreams

E
I walked alone through the shady streets
C#m
Listening to my heart beat
F#m
In the record breaking heat
Am E
When we were born in time

E B A E
Just when I thought you were gone You came back
E B E
Just when I was ready to receive you
B
You were smooth you were rough
A E
You were more than enough
E F#m B
Ahh baby why did I ever believe you
A
I believe you

E
In the rising curse
C#m
And the wings of nature will test every worth
F#m
I took you close and I felt the reason
Am E
And we were born in time

SOLO

E B A E
Just when I knew who to find you went back
E B E
Just as the fire light was gleaming
E B
You were snow you were rain
A E
You were strife and you were pain
E F#m B
Oh baby can it be you’ve been scheming
A
Or was I dreaming

E
In the wings of mystery
C#m
In the foggy weather destiny
F#m
You're still so deep inside of me
Am E
And we were born in time
