Before the Sun Goes Down Chords by Charlotte Ritchie

[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [Em] _ [F] _ _ _
_ [C] Did I live with love and grace [F] and dry [C] the tears on some small face?
Did I drink the sunlight in [Cm] and look on [C] losing as [G] a win?
[Am] Did I take the [Em] highest [Am] road?
[F] Did I [C] repay [Am] the debt [G] I owed?
[C] Search [G] me, [Am] search [G] me [Em] now [F] I pray, [C] _ wash my [Am] every sin [G] _ _
away.
_ _ [Am] Before the purple sunset [Em] skies, [F] before the carpe [C]
diem _ [G] dies,
Before [Am] I close my eyes to [Em] sleep and pray, [C] [F] dear Lord, my [C]
soul to [G] keep,
Before [Am] I reach the end of [Em] day, I've [F] gotta know I've walked your way.
_ Before the [D] darkness [C]
shades the [F] ground, _ _ before the [G] sun [C] _ goes [Em] down.
[D] _ _
[E] _ [C] _ Did I keep my word today [F] and [C] mean the things you [G] heard me say?
Did [C] I make sincere amends [F] with those [C] I've [G] wronged, [C] my kin and friends?
[Am] Did I seek [Em] to be more [Am] real?
[F] Did I _ [C] verbalize [D] the [Am] things [G] I feel?
[F] [G] Did I [Am] think [G] on [Em] what [F] is good, [C] _ my brother, _ [Am] when I [G] could? _ _ _
_ [Am] Before the purple sunset [Em]
skies, before [F] the carpe [C] diem _ [G] dies,
Before [Am] I close my eyes to [Em]
[C] sleep and pray, dear [F] Lord, my [C] soul to [G]
keep,
Before [Am] I reach the end of [Em]
day, [F] I've gotta know I've walked your way.
_ Before [Dm] the darkness [C] shades [F] the ground, _ [Am] before [Bm] the sun [C] goes _ _ down.
As _ _ [Am] _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] I reflect, I must confess that [F] I might [C]
not have passed some tests.
I fell short in everything, [F] for my [C] poor flesh is limiting.
[Am] And I regret my [Em] whole life [C] through.
[F] I did not [Am] spend much [G] time with you.
[F] But if [G] there's [Am] time [G] and [Em] _ [F] _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
more, I'll _ [Am] _ [G] daylight _ left.
_ _ [Am] Before the purple sunset [Em] _ skies, before [F] the [C] carpe diem [G] dies,
Before [Am] I close my eyes [Em] to [C] sleep and pray, [F] dear Lord, my [C]
soul [G] to keep,
Before [Am] I reach the end [Em] of day, I've [F] gotta know I've walked your way.
_ [Dm] Before the [C] darkness shades [F] the ground, _ _ before _ [D] the [Em] sun _ _ [C] goes [Em] down.
