Before I Met You Foster And Allen Lyrics

The guitar chords are included in the key that Foster And Allen [ songs ] play the song in. There are a couple of key changes in the song to make it more interesting to play. You don't need to play these key changes if you don't want to. Written by Charles Seitz, Joe Lewis & Elmer Rader. Also recorded by American Country singer Charlie Pride. The sheet music for the tin whistle is included.

I thought I had seen pretty girls in my time,
That was before I met you.
I never saw one that I wanted for mine,
That was before I met you. 


CHORUS (each stanza)
I thought I was swingin' the world by the tail.
I thought I could never be blue.
I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved,
But that was before I met you. 
I wanted to ramble and always be free,
That was before I met you.
I said that no woman could ever hold me,
But that was before I met you. 

They tell me I must reap just what I have sown,
Darlin', I hope it's not true.
For, once, I made plans about livin' alone,
That was before I met you. 

Here's the chords as played by Foster And Allen.

I [F]thought I had seen pretty [Bb]girls in my [F]time,
That was be[C]fore I met you.
I [F]never saw one that I [Bb]wanted for [F]mine,
That was be[C]fore I met [F]you. 


CHORUS (each stanza)
I [Bb]thought I was swingin' the [F]world by the tail.
I thought I could [G]never be [C]blue.
I [F]thought I'd been kissed and I [Bb]thought I'd been [F]loved,
But that was be[C]fore I met [F]you. 

I [F]wanted to ramble and [Bb]always be [F]free,
That was before I met [C]you.
I [F]said that no woman could [Bb]ever hold [F]me,
But that was be[C]fore I met [F]you.

Repeat chorus

I [C]thought I was swingin' the [G]world by the tail.

I [G]thought I'd been kissed and I [C]thought I'd been [G]loved,
But that was be[D]fore I met [G]you.

[G] [C] [G] [D] [C] [Am]
