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                 Dsus4  G          Gadd2?
How can it happen   that every time
D                       Dsus4      G                 Gadd2
You ask us this question the answer seems like a lie
D                              Dsus4 G                  Gadd2
You know what what we're saying  you know what it means
Bm
And it's always sincere god knows
       A          G
But it never gets through to where you need

[chorus1]
D
Before you were born someone kicked in the door
G
There's no place for you here, stay back where you belong
D
Before you were born someone kicked in the door
G
You are not wanted here anymore


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