Before You Were Born
by Toad the Wet Sprocket
from the _fear_ album

contributed by Ryan Houlette



It's the same basic chords the whole song.
Vary it by adding hammer-ons/pull-offs.
Listen to the album to get the strumming pattern.


[verse1]
D (xx0232@1)               Dsus4 (xx0233@1)G (320003@1)        Gadd2?
How can it happen   that every time
D (xx0232@1)                     Dsus4 (xx0233@1)    G (320003@1)               Gadd2
You ask us this question the answer seems like a lie
D (xx0232@1)                            Dsus4 (xx0233@1)name="chord_320003@1">G                  Gadd2
You know what what we're saying  you know what it means
BmAnd (x24432@1)it's always sincere god knows
       A (x02220@1)        GBut (320003@1)it never gets through to where you need

[chorus1]
DBefore (xx0232@1)you were born someone kicked in the door
GThere's (320003@1)no place for you here, stay back where you belong
DBefore (xx0232@1)you were born someone kicked in the door
GYou (320003@1)are not wanted here anymore


(repeat these patterns for the other verses and choruses and the 2nd solo)
