Back Street Affair chords by Willie Nelson

Guitar chords with lyrics

Verse:
GG                 D7D7     GG    G7G7       CC                 GG
You didn't know I wasn't free when you fell in love with me
                        D7D7                   GG
And with all your young heart you learned to care
                     D7D7     GG     G7G7            CC               GG
It brought you shame and disgrace the world has tumbled in your face
                           D7D7          GG
Cause they call our love a back street affair

             D7D7         GG    G7G7    CC                   GG
They say you wrecked my home I'm a husband that's gone wrong
                           D7D7                GG
They don't know the sorrow that we've had to bear
                 D7D7       GG   G7G7      CC             GG
For the one that I'm tied to  was the first to be untrue
                         D7D7            GG
Yes they call our love a back street affair

             D7D7    GG    G7G7             CC          GG
We have each other now that's all that matters anyhow
                   D7D7             GG
Oh the judgment of gossip's never fair
                D7D7      GG          G7G7   CC                       GG
We'll just be brave and strong then someday they'll see they're wrong
                         D7D7            GG
Let them call our love a back street affair

                  D7D7       GG    G7G7          CC            GG
We'll be free for love someday when all the talk is dead away
                        D7D7                   GG
And the happiness we've hoped for then we'll share
             D7D7       GG     G7G7      CC                      GG
I'll climb a mountain high and then the world will hear me cry
                       D7D7            GG
That our love is not a back street affair
