Before My Time chords by Johnny Cash

Chords with lyrics

G+G
I know that hearts were loving

   D7D7
Long before I was here


And I'm not the first to ever cry

   G+G
In my bed or in my beer


      C majorC
There were songs before there was radio

  G+G          E minorEm
Of love that stays and love that goes

     C majorC
They were writing melancholy tunes

            D7D7
And tearful words that rhyme

     G+G   D7D7    G+G
Before my time  before my time

There were songs in old dusty books

  D7D7
Of love that's always been


Sweet lovers in their glory

    G+G
Who are now gone with the wind


  C majorC
Old fashion love words spoken then

   G+G      E minorEm
Keep coming back around again

C majorC
Nothings changed except the names

              D7D7
Their love burns just like mine

     G+G   D7D7    G+G
Before my time before my time

  C majorC
And in the dim of yesterday

G+G
I can clearly see

   C majorC
That flesh and blood cried out to someone

G+G       D7D7
As it does in me

       G+G
And there was some old song that said

 C majorC
I love you till I die

     G+G   D7D7    G+G
Before my time before my time



But what the old time masters had

  D7D7
Is what I feel for you


Love is love and doesn't change

   G+G
In a century or two


  C majorC
If someway they had seen and knew

G+G          E minorEm
How it would be for me and you

    C majorC
They'd wish for love like yours

                 D7D7
And they would wish for love like mine

     G+G   D7D7    G+G
