Lyrics Bob Seger - I Knew You When
[ intro ]
F A# C F x2
[ verse 1 ]
F A#
in the ancient middle fifties ,
C F
the closin’ sixties roar
F A#
i was caught up in your passion
C F
i could only beg for more
F A#
and if i had a dollar bill
C F
i’d give it to you then
F A#
so i could tell the whole wide world
C F
one day i knew you when
F A# C F x2
[ verse 2 ]
F A#
with your dangerous charisma
C F
your thundering attack
F A#
you charged the very air i breathe
C F
and kept me coming back
F A#
you helped me through my darkest hours
C F
you always were my friend
F A#
you gave me hope to carry on
C F
because i knew you when
[ bridge ]
A# Am A# F
i knew you when the mountain tops were right beneath your feet
A# F C
when artistry and freedom were complete
F C Am Bm F A#
before you were an icon , before they all tuned in
C F
you could say i knew you when
F A# C F x2
[ verse 3 ]
F A#
we all sit here with our memories ,
C F
of a glorious long ago
F A#
when our heroes seemed immortal ,
C F
were they really so
F A#
it’s a question for a wiser man
C F
i will not ask again
F A#
i will only say i’m grateful
C F
for the time i knew you when
[ outro ]
F A#
i knew you when ( i knew you when )
C F
oh , i knew you when
F A#
i knew you when ( i knew you when )
C F

F A# C F x2
