Chords for Long Long Before Your Time + On Screen Lyrics ---- Johnny McEvoy

_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ You ask me why I look so sad [Eb] on this bright [F] summer [Bb] day
_ _ Or why the tears are in my eyes and [Eb] I seem [F] so far [Bb] away
_ Well, sit yourself beside me, love, [Eb] and put your [F] hand in [Bb] mine
And I'll tell you of someone I loved [Eb] long, long [F] before [Bb] your time _ _ _ _
_ I'm sitting here and thinking of [Eb] those days [F] so long [Bb] ago
When _ I was just a child like you [Eb] and a girl [F] I used to [Bb] know
Through fields of green we laughed and played [Eb] and sang [F] our merry [Bb] rhyme
_ Oh, summer days were warmer then, [Eb] long, long [F] before [Bb] your time
_ _ _ _ _ Through childhood years our love did bloom [Eb] till our hearts [F] were just [Bb] as one
And we promised each _ eternal love [Eb] in the church below [Bb] the town
_ We settled in this little house I [Eb] was proud to [C] call her [Bb] mine
_ Oh, we were young and happy then, long, long [F] before your [Bb] time _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ One lovely year was all we had [Eb] until [F] this sickness [Bb] came
That stole the roses from her cheeks, [Eb] my [F] tears, they fell [Bb] like rain
_ 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, long [F] before [Bb] your time _ _ _ _
_ So you ask me why I look so sad [Eb] on this [F] bright summer [Bb] day
_ Or why the tears are in my eyes [Eb] and 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 _ _ _ _
