Before I Die
Written by Woody Mullis & Trey Matthews
Recorded by The Oak Ridge Boys
[Intro]
|D |G A |Bm |Em A
[Verse]
D G A D
Before I die, I wanna hit the Mississippi in a boat I've yet to buy
G A Bm
Take it out in the gulf where the water meets the sky
Em A
Where nothin' on God's green Earth looks dry
D G A D
I wanna see that stadium in New York from a right field seat
G A Bm
Maybe catch a home run when the new all-star goes deep
Em A
And pre- tend that Maris and Mantle are pointing up at me
[Chorus]
G F#m Em A D
While I can still breathe, while this old heart still has another beat
Bm A G F#m Em A
It's time I put some livin' in these dreams
D G A D
Before I die, I'm gonna learn all about how a man swallows pride
G A Bm
Find the strength to tell my daddy he was right
Em A
Tell Mama I'm sorry about that night
D G A D
'Fore I'm called up, I wanna be the kind of man that a woman wants to love
G A Bm
Find the side of me that's a different kind of tough
Em A
Who ain't ashamed to meet the Man above
[Chorus]
G F#m Em A D
While I can still breathe, while this old heart still has another beat
Bm A G F#m Em A
It's time I put some livin' in these dreams
G F#m Em A D
And Lord I know these are the things I should've done a long time a- go
Bm A G F#m
When I close my eyes I wanna feel at ease
Em A
If I left right now I couldn't rest in peace
[Chorus]
G F#m Em A D
While I can still breathe, while this old heart still has another beat
Bm A G F#m Em A
It's time I put some livin' in these dreams
[Outro]
D G A D G A D
Before I die, I wanna hit the Mississippi in a boat I've yet to buy -----
