Before My Time Johnny Cash
I know that hear[G]ts were loving
Long [D7]before I was here
And I'm not the first to ever cry
In my [G]bed or in my beer
There were [C]songs before there was radio
Of [G]love that stays and [Em]love that goes
They were [C]writing melancholy tunes
And tearful words that [D7]rhyme
Before my [G]time [D7]before my [G]time
There were songs in old dusty books
Of [D7]love that's always been
Sweet lovers in their glory
Who are [G]now gone with the wind
Old [C]fashion love words spoken then
Keep [G]coming back [Em]around again
[C]Nothings changed except the names
Their love burns just like [D7]mine
Before my [G]time [D7]before my [G]time
And [C]in the dim of yesterday
[G]I can clearly see
That [C]flesh and blood cried out to someone
[G]As it does in [D7]me
And there was [G]some old song that said
I [C]love you till I die
Before my [G]time [D7]before my [G]time
But what the old time masters had
Is [D7]what I feel for you
Love is love and doesn't change
In a [G]century or two
If [C]someway they had seen and knew
[G]How it would be for [Em]me and you
They'd [C]wish for love like yours
And they would wish for love like [D7]mine
Before my [G]time [D7]before my [G]time
