John Prine – Back Street Affair (Ukulele)

           C
You didn't know I wasn't free

         F                 C
When you fell in love with me

                        F                    C
And with all your young heart you learned to care

               C
It brought you shame and disgrace

              F               F
The world has tumbled in your face

                           F             C
Cause they call our love a back street affair

     C
They say I wrecked your home,

         F                   C
You're a husband that's gone wrong

                           F              C
They don't know the sorrow that we had to bear

        C
For the one I'm tied to 

        F                F
was the first to prove untrue

                         F             C
Now they call our love a back street affair

   C
We have each other now,

       F                   C
That's all that matters anyhow

                    F              C
For the judgment of gossip's never fair

      C  
We'll just be brave and strong

         F                       F
Then someday they'll see they're wrong

       C               F             C
Let em call our love a back street affair

         C
We'll be free to love someday

             F              C
When all the talk has died away

                     F                    C
and the happiness we hoped for then we'll share

      C
We'll climb a mountain high,

         F                  F
then the world will hear us cry

         C              F             C
That our love was not a back street affair

        C              F              C      F  C
No, our love was not a back street affair
