Before You Came by Jesse Colin Young
Before You Came
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
Em Am
Em Am
I dreamed... that I was riding, in a South Dakota field
C D Em
And the sweet grass whispered to me as I rode
Em Am
Oh, the sun it was at midday, It shown hot across my face
D C B7
And our land lay still in grace, Yes, a crystal silent place
Em C
Before you came
[Verse 2]
Em Am
Two of my closest brothers, They were riding by my side
C D C Em
And we watched a golden eagle, Flying circles in the sky
Em Am
And we smiled as our eyes met, For our joy, we could not hide
D C B7
Yes, we loved to hunt and ride, It was good to be alive
Em
Before you came
[Refrain]
Am
Brother, take my hand and we will walk this magic land
Em
Together
Am
Sister, look on high and you will see that storms are building in
Em
your skies
B7
Wo-oh, do you wonder why?
[Verse 3]
Em Am
And when the sun was dying, We had reached the sacred hills
C D C Em
And the sky it caught on fire, And all the land was still
Em Am
It was here all wrapped in blankets, In our younger days
D C B7
That we fasted and we listened, Oh the night would bring us visions
Em
Before you came
[Refrain]
Am
Brother, take my hand, For we must hold our father's land
Em
together
Am
Sister, look around, And you will see the scars of battle
Em
on this ground
B7
Woh, do you hear the sound?
[Verse 4]
Em Am
I dreamed... that I was riding in a South Dakota field
C D Em
And, the sweet grass whispered to me as I rode
Em Am
Oh the sun it was at midday, It shown hot across my face,
D C B7
And our land lay still in grace, As a crystal silent place
Em
Before you came
