Long Before Your Time Chords by Johnny Mcevoy

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ 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 _ _ _ _ _ _ _
