That was Before I Met You

     key=G  3/4 time
 
  
       G                         C           G
     I thought I had seen pretty girls in my time
         G                     D
     But that was before I met you
       G                    C          G
     I never saw one that I wanted for mine
         G          D          G      G7
     But that was before I met you


     CHORUS:
     [   C                          G                         ]
     [ I thought I was swinging the world by the tail         ]
     [   G                        D                           ]
     [ I thought I could never be blue                        ]
     [   G                             C                G     ]
     [ I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved ]
     [     G          D          G                            ]
     [ But that was before I met you                          ]


     I wanted to ramble and always be free
     But that was before I met you
     I said that no woman could ever own me
     But that was before I met you

     They tell me I must reap just what I have sown
     but Darling I hope that's not true
     for Once I made plans about living alone
     but That was before I met you
