Chords for Harold MacIntyre: "Run Before You Crawl", 1981

[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And men still keep on marching After _ all
We're _ going to catch [A] a talk with some of the folks a little bit later on.
Right now I'd like you to meet a very talented guy
who is really making a big name for himself.
We think he's a fine country singer.
Comes from one of my favorite spots down east,
Cape Breton Island.
Ladies and gentlemen, here's Harold McIntyre!
[D] _
They _ [E] _ _ [G#] _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [G#] _ [A] _
say you [D] must learn [F#m] to walk
[A] before you can run.
[E] You must feel some [G#m] hurt
before you taste [D] the [F#m] pleasures of love.
[G#m] [A] But be careful, boy,
[D] be sure you know
[A] the price you've got to pay.
You [D] see I'm paying for [E] it [G#m] dearly [F#m] every [A] day.
_ _ _ [B] _ [C#] _ [D] _
She took the little pride
[F#m] [C#m] I had left in [A] me
[A#m] _ [B] and changed me into something
_ [E] that I don't want to be.
[F#] [G#m] Yes, she [A] pulled the string
[D] and I jumped [A] to her beckon call.
I wish [D] I'd learned to run
[E] before she made [A] me crawl.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [C#m] _ [G#] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G#] [A] She just won't let _ [D] me forget
_ [A] _
where I was [G#m] found.
[F#m] A [E] lost and lonely [G#] loser
on [D] the wrong side [A] of town.
_ _ And the night [D] she took me in
like [A] a puppy from the cold.
But like [D] the devil,
I'm [E] afraid she bought [F#m] my [A] soul.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] She took the little pride
[A] I had left in me
[A#] [B] and [F#m] changed [B] me into something
_ [E] that I don't want to be.
[F#] [G#] Yes, [A] she pulled the string
[D] and I jumped [A] to her beckon call.
I wish [D] I'd learned to run
[E] before she [F#m] made me [E] crawl.
[A] _ _ I wish I'd [D] learned to run
[E] before she made [F#m] me crawl.
