D G A
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
