IT’S ALL BEEN DONE
D G Em A
I met you before the fall of Rome
D G Em A
And I begged you to let me take you home
D Daug
You were wrong, I was right
Bm D7
You said goodbye, I said goodnight
G Bm
It’s all been done
G D
It’s all been done
G Em A
It’s all been done before
D G Em A
I knew you before the west was won
D G Em A
And I heard you say the past was much more fun
D Daug
You go your way, I’ll go mine
Bm D7
But, I’ll see you next time
G Bm
It’s all been done
G D
It’s all been done
G Em A
It’s all been done before
D Daug Bm D7
And if I put my fingers here, and if I say “I love you, dear”
G A Bm
And if I play the same three chords, will you just run and say
G Bm
It’s all been done
G D
It’s all been done
G Em A
It’s all been done before
D G Em A
Alone and bored on a thirtieth-century night
D G Em A
Will I see you on The Price is Right?
D Daug Bm D7
Will I cry? Will I smile? As you run down the aisle?
G Bm
It’s all been done
G D
It’s all been done
G Em A
It’s all been done before
G Bm
It’s all been done
G D
It’s all been done
G A
It’s all been done
G Bm
It’s all been done
G D
It’s all been done
G A D
It’s all been done before
In all reality, this was transcribed by a 15-year-old Canadian prodigy named Frank Gilbert,
who despite his heritage, had never heard of the Barenaked Ladies before coming to a
fine American school in Iowa. One day all of Quebec and Canada will rave over his
virtuosity. Just remember, it all started with his American history teacher, Frank Howell.
