Long Long Before Your Time - Johnny McEvoy chords
Start Jamming...
I like an old song, I like a fairly new one.
This is one of old ones.
A few years back now, a song called Long, Long Before Your Time.
[Bb]
[Gm] [F]
[Bb]
You ask me why I look so sad [Eb] on this bright [F] [Bb] summer day
Or why the tears are in my eyes [Eb] and I [F] seem so [Bb] far away
Well, sit yourself beside me, love, [Eb] and put [F] your hand [Bb] in mine
And I'll tell you of someone I loved [Eb] long, [F] long before [Bb] your time
I'm sitting here and thinking of [Eb] those [F] days so long [Bb] ago
When I was just a child like you [Eb] and a girl [F] I [Bb] used to know
Through fields of green we laughed and played [Eb] and sang [F] our [Bb] merry rhyme
Oh, summer days were warmer then, [Eb] long, [F] long before [Bb] your time
Through childhood years our love did bloom [Eb] till our [F] hearts were just [Bb] as one
And we promised each eternal love [Eb] in the [F] church below [Bb] the town
We settled in this little house [Eb] I was [F] proud to [Bb] call our mine
Oh, we were young and happy then, [Eb] long, long [Bb] before your time
[A] [Bb]
[Cm]
[F] [Bb]
One lovely year was all we had [Eb] until [F] a [Bb] snitch came
That stole the roses from our cheeks [Eb] and my [F] tears they [Bb] fell
For nine long months she carried you [Eb] but in [F] the end [Bb] she died
She chose to go so you might live [Eb] long, [F] long before [Bb] your time
So you ask me why I look so sad [Eb] on this [F] bright [Bb] summer day
Or why the tears are in my eyes [Eb] when I [F] seem so [Bb] far away
It's just you seem a lot like her [Eb] when your [F] eyes look [Bb] into mine
And you smile so much like she did, [Eb] long, [F] long before [Bb] your time
And you smile so much like she did, [Eb] long, long [F] before your [Bb]
time
