D                           G           D                              A7
I thought I had seen pretty girls in my time but that was before I met you
  D                    G          D                   A7         D
I never saw one that I wanted for mine but that was before I met you

[Chorus 1]
  G                          D                                            A7
I thought I was swinging the world by the tail I thought I could never be blue
  D                             G                D                    A7         D
I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved but that was before I met you

[Verse 2]
  D                    G         D                              A7
I wanted to ramble and always be free but that was before I met you
  D                        G         D                 A7         D
I said that no woman could ever hold me but that was before I met you

[Chorus 2]
  G                          D                                            A7
I thought I was swinging the world by the tail I thought I could never be blue
  D                             G                D                    A7         D
I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved but that was before I met you

They tell me I must reap just what I have sown but darling I hope it's not true
    D                       G       D                   A7         D
For once I made plans about living alone but that was before I met you

I thought I was swinging the world by the tail I thought I could never be blue
  D                             G                D                    A7         D
I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved but that was before I met you

But that was before I met you
