[Verse 1]
[Em]Long before what is [D]black was blackened
[Em]O, l[D]ong [Em]before
Blooms of gray made [D]mother lovely
[Em]Mother [D]ain't [Em]lovely no more
And long before the [D]house was leaning
[Em]O, l[D]ong [Em]before
The corridor of box woods
[D]lined the entrance
[Em]Box [D]woods ain't [Em]there no more
Dad burned the box woods
And like to burned the house
But [Am]one came w[D]andering
and [G]beat daddy [F]down
[Em]O, l[D]ong [G]before[D][Em][D][Em]
Long before this [D]road seemed knotted
[Em]O, l[D]ong [Em]before
There was but one path [D]dim and cozy
[Em]Path don't [D]seem to [Em]be no more
And long before you [D]were my sister
[Em]O, l[D]ong [Em]before
Gals in town they [D]called me mister
[Em]Ain't no [D]girl call on [Em]me no more
I cut the card loosewise
Were you not my only dream?
Give the [Am]hero his [D]house
He and [G]ma live in [F]sin
[Em]O, l[D]ong [G]before[D][Em][D][Em]
And long before you [D]were an [Em]artwork
[D]O, lon[Em]g before
Mama suckled you [D]on her holy breast
[Em]Mama's [D]breast ain't [Em]holy no more
Long before we [D]shared a short sheet
[Em]O, l[D]ong [Em]before
I stood above you [D]as you slept
[Em]I don't st[D]and ab[Em]ove no more
We won little mobile
And won filthy path
And will [Am]drift along [D]tongueless
un[G]happiness at [F]last
Will [C]last
And [F]last[C][F][C][F][C]
Till we [Am]see fit [D]to stand before
That [G]virgin cunt, that [Em]sainted whore
Whose [Am]piss we have slept [D]under
Whose [G]smell we have [Em]bore
[D]Is her heel print that mar[Em]ks our faces?
[D]O, [Em]long be[D]fore[Em]
[D][Em]
