G                        C                     G
Oh Grandfather tell me how it was when you were young
G                                 D                    G
Was the world so very old when your life had just begun?
   C                                          G
Oh Grandfather tell me is it true you worked the land
G                                D                  G
And the tools that you used you made with your own hands

{Chorus}
  C                                               G
Before time was only money and machines made man a slave
  G                            D                       G
Was the world all milk and honey before all the streets were paved?

{Verse 2}
  G                             C                      G
Grandson, I'll tell you truly how it was when I was young
  G                               D                     G
The world was full of wonder in my first days under the sun
  C                                                  G
Before time was only money and machines made man a slave
  G                              D                        G
The world was milk and honey before all the streets were paved

{Verse3}
  A                          D                A
Now Grandson remember in the days that are to come
  A                               E                  A
One thing I will tell you before my life on earth is done
  D                                                        A
Don't let time be only money, don't let machines make you a slave
  A                            E                        G
And taste the milk and honey before all the streets are paved

{Chorus}
  D                                               A
Before time was only money and machines made man a slave
  A                           E                         A
The world was milk and honey before all the streets were paved

{Outro) Slow
  A
Yeah there's more to time than money
  D                              A
There's more to treasure than to save
  A
Now taste the milk and honey
  E                        A
Before all the streets are paved


 E              D7          A
Before all the streets are paved
