Johnny Cash - Before my time

^GI know that hearts were loving Long ^D7before I was here And I'm ^D7not the first to ever cry In my ^Gbed or in my beer

There were ^Csongs before there was radio Of ^Glove that stays and ^Emlove that goes They were ^Cwriting melancholy tunes And tearful words that ^D7rhyme Before my ^Gtime ^D7before my ^Gtime

^GThere were songs in old dusty books Of ^D7love that's always been Sweet ^D7lovers in their glory Who are ^Gnow gone with the wind

Old ^Cfashion love words spoken then Keep ^Gcoming back ^Emaround again ^CNothings changed except the names Their love burns just like ^D7mine Before my ^Gtime ^D7before my ^Gtime

And ^Cin the dim of yesterday ^GI can clearly see That ^Cflesh and blood cried out to someone ^GAs it does in ^D7me

And there was ^Gsome old song that said I ^Clove you till I die Before my ^Gtime ^D7before my ^Gtime

But what the ^Gold time masters had Is ^D7what I feel for you Love^D7 is love and doesn't change In a ^Gcentury or two

If ^Csomeway they had seen and knew ^GHow it would be for ^Emme and you They'd ^Cwish for love like yours And they would wish for love like ^D7mine Before my ^Gtime ^D7before my ^Gtime
