Intro:  [D](6) [G](1) [A](6) (x2)

[D]Daddy sits on the front porch swingin'
Lookin' out on a [G]vacant [A]field,
It used to be filled with burly tobacco
Now he knows it never [D]will
My brother found work in Indiana
My sister's a nurse at the [G]old folks [A]home
Momma's still cookin' too much for supper
And me, I've been a long time [D]gone

Been a [G]long [D]time [A]gone
No I [G]ain't hoed a [D]row since I [A]don't know when
Long [D]time [G]gone and it [A]ain't comin' back a[D]gain

INTRO (1/2)

[D]Delia plays that old church piano
Sittin' out on her [G]daddy's [A]farm
She always thought that we'd be together
Lord, I never meant to do her [D]harm
Said she could heard me singin' in the choir
Me I heard [G]another [A]song
I caught wind and hit the road runnin'
And Lord, I've been a long time [D]gone

Been a [G]long [D]time [A]gone
Lord, I [G]ain't had a [D]prayer since I [A]don't know when
Long [D]time [G]gone and it [A]ain't comin' back a[D]gain

INSTRUMENTAL:  [E]        [A]  [B]         [E]  (x2)

BRIDGE:
Now [C]me, I went to Nashville, tryin' to be the big deal
[D]Playin' down on Broadway, gettin' there the hard way
[C]Livin' from a tip jar, sleepin' In my car
[D]hawkin' my guitar, yeah I'm gonna be a [E]star  [A]

[D]Now me and Delia singin' every Sunday
Watchin' the children and the [G]garden [A]grow
We listen to the radio to hear what's cookin'
But the Music ain't got [D]no soul
Now they sound tired but they don't sound Haggard
They got money but they [G]don't have [A]Cash
They got junior But they don't have Hank
I think, I think, I think the rest [D]is a...

[G]Long [D]time [A]gone
No I [G]ain't hit the [D]roof since I [A]don't know when
Long [D]time [G]gone and it [A]ain't comin' back

I said a [G]long [D]time [A]gone
No I [G]Ain't honked a [D]horn since I [A]don't know when
Long [D]time [G]gone and it [A]ain't comin' back a[D]gain  [G]  [A]  [D]

I said a long time, long time, long time [A]gone
Oh it's been a long [D]time
