I think the repetition of the word "before" is a musical joke, because this is NOT in 4.
There's a measure of 3 in between the verse sections (everywhere with a *).
In the chorus, the lines "it ain't before no more" is right where you have to count 5 instead of 4.
Picture this song's original lyrics being something like "it ain't in four no more," haha.
[Verse 1]
G Before the train, before the road G A dream of wheels someday to roll C Songs unsung and tales untold G D G Before the train before the road
*
G Before the steamboat paddle wheel G How did the mighty river feel C A steady flow and an even keel G D G Before the steamboat paddle wheel
*
[Chorus]
C G Before, along before D G It ain't before no more* C G Before, along before D G It ain't before no more* D G It ain't before
[Verse 2]
G Before the wagons headed west G Before the gold and all the rest C The sun upon the mountain's crest G D G Before the wagons headed west
*
G Before the mighty buffalo G The wind and water, the rain and snow C A silence none of us could know G D G Before the mighty buffalo
*
[Chorus]
C G Before, along before D G It ain't before no more* C G Before, along before D G It ain't before no more* D G It ain’t before
[Verse 3]
G Before I meet my journey's end G I'll try to be an honest friend C I'll see you all up around the bend G D G Before I meet my journey's end
*
[Chorus]
C G Before, along before D G It ain't before no more* C G Before, along before D G It ain't before no more* D G It ain’t before
