Introduction:

G7                 C                            F                                                              G7                                      C  
Before I die I wanna hit the Mississippi in a boat I've yet to buy
                     F                                                                 G7                                    Am  
Take it out in the gulf where the water meets the sky
                Dm                                                                                      G7  
Where nothin' on God's green earth looks dry
                     C                    F                         G7                                                                    C  
I wanna see that stadium in New York from a right field seat
                F                                                                 G7                                         Am  
Maybe catch a home run when the new all-star goes deep
                  Dm                                                                                                              G7  
And pretend that's Maris and Mantle pointing up at me
                                                F                 Em                      Dm                                    G7                         C  
While I can still breathe while this old heart still has another beat
             Am                                    G7                                    F              Em    Dm  
It's time I put some livin' in these dreams
G7                 C                                 F                                                      G7                            C  
Before I die I'm gonna learn all about how a man swallows pride
                        F                                                 G7                            Am  
Find the strength to tell my daddy he was right
             Dm                                                                 G7  
Tell momma I'm sorry about that night
                        C                                            F  
Fore I'm called up I wanna be the kind of man
                  G7                                 C  
That a woman wants to love
                        F                                                 G7                                         Am  
Find the side of me that's a different kind of tough
          Dm                                                                         G7  
Who ain't ashamed to meet the Man above
                                                F                 Em                      Dm                                    G7                         C  
While I can still breathe while this old heart still has another beat
             Am                                    G7                                    F              Em    Dm  
It's time I put some livin' in these dreams
                             F         Em                              Dm                                            G7                                      C  
And Lord I know these are the things I should've done a long time ago
                  Am                                    G7                              F         Em  
When I close my eyes I wanna feel at ease
             Dm                                                                                    G7  
If I left right now I couldn't rest in peace
                                                F                 Em                      Dm                                    G7                         C  
While I can still breathe while this old heart still has another beat
             Am                                    G7                                    F              Em    Dm  
It's time I put some livin' in these dreams
                        C                            F                                                              G7                                      C  
Before I die I wanna hit the Mississippi in a boat I've yet to buy
