Before I Die Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][D][G][A][Bm]
[Em]
[A]Before I die

[Verse 1]
[D]
I wanna [G]hit the Mississippi in a
[A]boat I've yet [D]to buy
And take it [G]out in the gulf where the
[A]wa ter meets the [Bm]sky
To where [Em]nothin' on God's
green earth look[A]s dry

[Verse 2]
And I wanna [D]see
That sta[G]dium in New [A]York
from a right [D]field seat
Maybe [G]catch a home run when a
[A]new all star [Bm]goes deep
And pre[Em]tend that's Maris
and Mantle pointin' up at [A]me

[Verse 3]
While I can [G]still breathe
[D]While thi[Em]s old heart still has[A] another bea[D]t
It's [Bm]time I put some [A]livin' to
[G]these [D]dreams[Em][A]

[Verse 4]
Before [D]I die
I'm gonna [G]learn all about how
[A]man [D]swallows pride
And find the [G]strength to tell
my [A]daddy he was [Bm]right
And tell [Em]mama,
I'm sorry 'bout that [A]night

[Verse 5]
Before I'm called [D]up
I wanna [G]be the kinda man that
a [A]woman wants to [D]love
And find a [G]side of me that's a [A]different,
kind of [Bm]tough
And who [Em]ain't ashamed
to need the man [A]above

[Verse 6]
While I can [G]still [D]breathe
While [Em]this old heart still [A]has another [D]beat
It's [Bm]time I put some [A]livin'
to [G]these [D]dreams[Em]
[A]And Lord I

[Verse 7]
[G]know
[D]These are thi[Em]ngs I should
[A]have done a long time ago
[D]And when I clo[Bm]se my eyes
I wan[A]na feel [G]at ease
[D]And if I [Em]left right now,
I couldn't rest in [A]peace
While [D]I can still

[Verse 8]
[G]breathe
[D]While thi[Em]s old heart still has[A] another bea[D]t
It's [Bm]time I put some [A]livin' to
[G]these [D]dreams
[Em][A]

[Verse 9]
Before I [D]die
I wanna [G]hit the Mississippi in a
[A]boat I've yet to buy
[D]And take it [G]out in the gulf where the
[A]wa ter meets the [Bm]sky
To where [Em]nothin' on God's green earth look[A]s

[Outro 1]
