Another super simple but superbly emotive Irish tune, this one written and recorded by Johnny McEvoy.

A great tune to start picking on. http://www.johnnymcevoy.net/ If you like it rate it ! flatwound LONG LONG BEFORE YOUR TIME ** CAPO 3rd FRET **You aGsk me why I lGook so sad, On thCis bright sumDmer's dGay And wGhy the tears are Gin my eyes, And I seCem so fDar aGway Well sGit yourself beGside me love, And pCut your haDnd in mGine And I'll teGll you of someGone I loved, Long lCong befDore your tGime GWell I'm siGtting here and thiGnking of, Those dCays, So lDong aGgo When GI was just a chGild like you, And the gCirl I uDsed to kGnow Through fieGlds of green,We laugGhed and played,And sCang our meDrry rhGymes Oh sumGmer days were waGrmer then, Long loCng befDore your tGime GThrough childGhood years, Our loGve did bloom, 'Till our heCarts were juDst as oGne And we proGmised each eteGrnal love, In the chuCrch beDlow the tGown We setGtled in this liGttle house, I was prCoud to caDll her mGine Oh wGe were young and haGppy then, Long lCong befDore your tGime GINSTRUMENTAL: G G C D G GOne loGvely year was aGll we had, UnCtil the sicDkness caGme And stGole the roses frGom her cheeks, My teCars they fDell like rGain For nGine long months, She carGried you, But Cin the eDnd she dGied She chGose to go, So yGou might live, Long loCng beDfore your tGime GSo you aGsk me why I loGok so sad, On tChis bright sumDmers dGay And wGhy the tears are Gin my eyes, And I sCeem so fDar aGway It's jGust you seem a lGot like her, When your eCyes look iDnto mGine And you smGile, So much liGke she did, Long lCong beDfore your tGime G And you smGile, So much lGike she did, Long lCong beDfore your tiGme
