Bob Seger – I Knew You When (Guitar)

       F                      Bb
In the ancient middle fifties,

    C               F
the closin' sixties roar

      F                 Bb
I was caught up in your passion

        C            F
I could only beg for more

F                Bb
  And if I had a dollar bill

    C              F
I'd give it to you then

F                     Bb
  So I could tell the whole wide world

    C              F
One day I knew you when

          F                 Bb
With your dangerous charisma

     C                F
Your thundering attack

    F                Bb
You charged the very air I breathe

    C              F
And kept me coming back

    F                    Bb
You helped me through my darkest hours

     C             F
You always were my friend

    F               Bb
You gave me hope to carry on

  C                F
Because I knew you when

Bb                    Am                 Bb                 F
  I knew you when the mountain tops were right beneath your feet

Bb                  F               C
  When artistry and freedom were complete

  Bb               C       F         A         Dm  F  Bb
Before you were an icon, before they all tuned in

           C             F
You could say I knew you when

      F                       Bb
We all sit here with our memories,

     C                F
of a glorious long ago

         F                  Bb
When our heroes seemed immortal,

C                F
were they really so

       F                Bb
It's a question for a wiser man

      C         F
I will not ask again

       F                  Bb
I will only say I'm grateful

         C               F
For the time I knew you when

            F               Bb
I knew you when (I knew you when)

C               F
Oh, I knew you when

           F                Bb
I knew you when (I knew you when)

C               F
Yeah I knew you when

           F                  Bb
I knew you when (I knew you when)

C               F
Yeah I knew you when
