Daddy sits on the front porch swingin', lookin' out on a vacant field
                                                              D5
It used to be filled with burly tobacco now he knows it never will
                                                             G5   D5     A5
My brother found work in Indiana, my sister's a nurse at the old folks home
D5  
Momma's still cookin' too much for supper and me, I've been a long time gone
       G5    D5    A5          G5            D5           A5
Been a long time gone, no I ain't hoed a row since I don't know when
A5    D5    G5           A5                 D5
Long time gone and it ain't comin' back again

Delia plays that old church piano, sittin' out on her daddy's farm

She always thought that we'd be together, Lord, I never meant to do her harm

Said she could heard me singin' in the choir, me I heard another song

I caught wind and hit the road runnin' and Lord, I've been a long time gone

Been a long time gone, Lord, I ain't had a prayer since I don't know when
A5    D5    G5           A5                 D5     E5 A5 E5   B5   E5
Long time gone and it ain't comin' back again
    C5                         
Now me, I went to Nashville, tryin' to be the big deal
D5
Playin' down on Broadway, gettin' there the hard way
C5
Livin' from a tip jar, sleepin' in my car
D5                                      E5     A5
Hockin' my guitar, yeah I'm gonna be a star

Now me and Delia singin' every Sunday, watchin' the children and the garden grow

We listen to the radio to hear what's cookin' but the music ain't got no soul

Now they sound tired but they don't sound Haggard

They got money but they don't have Cash,

They got Junior but they don't have Hank, I think, I think, I think the rest is a...


G5    D5    A5          G5             D5            A5
Long time gone, no I ain't hit the roof since I don't know when
A5    D5    G5           A5            
Long time gone and it ain't comin' back.. 
         G5    D5    A5          G5              D5            A5 
I said a long time gone, no I ain't honked a horn since I don't know when
A5    D5    G5           A5                    D5 
Long time gone and it ain't comin' back again


                                         A5     
I said a long time, long time, long time gone, oh it's been a long time
D5                               A5  
Long time, long time, long time gone
                         D5                                       A5   D5 
Oh it's been a long time gone... Long time, long time, long time gone.

Yeah, yeah
