Before I Die

D      G       A

          D
Before I die
   G                              A                D
I wanna hit the Mississippi in a boat I've yet to buy
G
and take it out in the Gulf
           A              Bm
Where the water meets the sky
Em                                           A
To where nothing on God's green earth looks dry
                D
And I wanna see
        G                  A                 D
that stadium in New York from a right field seat
        G                     A                 Bm
Maybe catch a homerun when a new all-star goes deep
        Em                                          A
And pretend that's Maris and Mantle pointing up at me

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

            D
Before I die,
G                               A               D
I'm gonna learn all about how man swallows pride
        G                          A           Bm
And find the strength to tell my daddy he was right
Em                                   A
And tell mama I'm sorry about that night
                   D
Before I'm called up
   G                             A              D
I wanna be the kinda man that a woman wants to love
       G                        A                   Bm
And find a side of me that's a different kind of tough
        Em                          A
Who ain't ashamed to need the man above

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

                D
And Lord I know
G                       A                       D
These are things I should have done a long time ago
                G           A             Bm
And when I close my eyes I wanna feel at ease
           Em                               A
And if I left right now I couldn't rest in peace

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

          D
Before I die
   G                              A                D
I wanna hit the Mississippi in a boat I've yet to buy
G
and take it out in the Gulf
           A              Bm
Where the water meets the sky
Em                                           A
To where nothing on God's green earth looks dry
