Carl Smith - Before I Met You Chords

               BEFORE I MET YOU

            (Recorded by: Carl Smith)    (1956)


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.
