Gone Before You Met Me

Transposer:

Not sure about the intro the run towards the end and the chords of the final out. Any help would be appreciated. "Gone Before You Met Me" [Intro] [Verse 1] I had a dream last night I was floating down that black water Kick back on the Mississippi On a raft with ol’ Tom Sawyer He got restless down around Memphis That’s where he left me Said I’m one rambling man I was gone before you met me And there I was back in my hometown That’s just how dreams go Thumb in the air wanted out of there Heading my own road Well I hitched a ride with this beatnik guy Said looks like you read me My name is Jack Kerouac I was gone before you met me [Chorus] You got your homeboys your hang-around-boys You fix that roof but your roots to the ground-boys Pink house the white fence Pretty little woman two point five Kids dang right it’s a good life With boys like me your bound to run the wild side Like the restless wind you’ll never catch me I was gone before you met me x2 [Verse 2] And just before I awoke I had a bad nightmare I was on some lost highway and you were nowhere near Someone took your hand I wasn’t that man Girl it sure did hit me I was cussing fate but it was too late You were gone before you met me Yeah I smelled that coffee I heard you singing in the kitchen Walking in got a kiss you said the sink still dripping Thank God I’m still driven [Chorus] You got your homeboys your hang-around-boys You fix that sink but your roots to the ground-boys Blue house the white fence Sweet little woman rocking that good Miss dang right it’s a fine life His restless heart found a heart I can call mine I was smart enough to let love catch me [Outro] So Tom and Jack just rambled on without me ’Cause I was gone before you met me Gone gone gone before you met me Gone before you met me

La chanson évoque les rêves et les réflexions d'un homme qui se sent comme un éternel voyageur. Il raconte des souvenirs d'aventures et de rencontres, comme celles avec des figures littéraires emblématiques, et souligne son esprit libre qui l'a constamment éloigné des autres. Il prend conscience que, malgré le confort et la stabilité d’une vie de famille qui pourrait l’attendre, son cœur indomptable l’a toujours conduit à partir avant même de s'engager. À travers ses rêves, il réalise que sa nature insouciante le précède, laissant derrière lui ceux qu'il aurait pu rencontrer. Le contexte de la chanson attire l’attention sur ce paradoxe entre le désir d'une vie calme et la peur de la routine, faisant écho à une quête personnelle d’identité et à la fragilité des relations humaines face à l'errance.
