Back Street Affair

by Willie Nelson

G                 D7     G    G7       C                 G

You didn't know I wasn't free when you fell in love with me

                        D7                   G

And with all your young heart you learned to care

                     D7     G     G7            C               G

It brought you shame and disgrace the world has tumbled in your face

                           D7          G

Cause they call our love a back street affair

             D7         G    G7    C                   G

They say you wrecked my home I'm a husband that's gone wrong

                           D7                G

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

                 D7       G   G7      C             G

For the one that I'm tied to  was the first to be untrue

                         D7            G

Yes they call our love a back street affair

             D7    G    G7             C          G

We have each other now that's all that matters anyhow

                   D7             G

Oh the judgment of gossip's never fair

                D7      G          G7   C                       G

We'll just be brave and strong then someday they'll see they're wrong

                         D7            G

Let them call our love a back street affair

                  D7       G    G7          C            G

We'll be free for love someday when all the talk is dead away

                        D7                   G

And the happiness we've hoped for then we'll share

             D7       G     G7      C                      G

I'll climb a mountain high and then the world will hear me cry

                       D7            G

That our love is not a back street affair
