Before I Die
Written by Woody Mullis & Trey Matthews
Recorded by The Oak Ridge Boys

Intro.:  |(D) |(G)(A)|(Bm) |(Em)(A)

Before I (D)die, I wanna (G)hit the Mississippi in a (A)boat I've yet to (D)buy
Take it (G)out in the gulf where the (A)water meets the (Bm)sky
Where (Em)nothin' on God's green Earth looks (A)dry

I wanna (D)see that (G)stadium in New (A)York from a right field (D)seat
Maybe (G)catch a home run when the (A)new all-star goes (Bm)deep
And pre-(Em)tend that Maris and Mantle are pointing up at (A)me

(Chorus)
While I can still (G)breathe, (F#m) while (Em)this old heart still (A)has another beat (D)
It's (Bm)time I put some (A)livin' in these (G) dreams (F#m) (Em) (A)

Before I (D)die, I'm gonna (G)learn all about how a (A)man swallows (D)pride
Find the (G)strength to tell my (A)daddy he was (Bm)right
Tell (Em)Mama I'm sorry about that (A)night

'Fore I'm called (D)up, I wanna (G)be the kind of man that a (A)woman wants to (D)love
Find the (G)side of me that's a (A)different kind of (Bm)tough
Who (Em)ain't ashamed to meet the Man (A)above

(Chorus)
While I can still (G)breathe, (F#m) while (Em)this old heart still (A)has another beat (D)
It's (Bm)time I put some (A)livin' in these (G) dreams (F#m) (Em) (A)

And Lord I (G)know (F#m) these are the (Em)things I should've (A)done a long time a-(D)go
When I (Bm)close my eyes I (A)wanna feel at (G) ease (F#m)
If I (Em)left right now I couldn't rest in (A)peace

(Chorus)
While I can still (G)breathe, (F#m) while (Em)this old heart still (A)has another beat (D)
It's (Bm)time I put some (A)livin' in these (G) dreams (F#m) (Em) (A)
