G                           C            G 
I thought I had seen pretty girls in my  time 
                           D 
But that was before I met  You 
    G                   C            G 
I  never saw one that I wanted for  mine 
                 D           G 
But that was be- fore I met you 
.  
 
      CHORUS 
  C                            G 
I thought I was swingin' the  world by the tail 
                            D 
I thought I could never be  blue 
   G                            C                G 
I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved 
                 D           G 
But that was be-fore I met  you. 
 
                        C         G 
I wanted to ramble and always be free 
                           D 
But that was before I met you 
   G                       C          G 
I said that no woman could ever hold me 
                D          G 
But that was before I met you. 
 
    Repeat CHORUS 
 
                         C           G 
They tell me I must reap what I have sown 
                             D7 
But darlin' I hope it's not true 
    G                       C       G 
For once I made plans about livin' alone 
                D7        G 
But that was before I met you.
