[Chorus 1]
I've been a [D]fool, I've been a fool
[G]Forgiving you each time
that [D]you've done me wrong
I've [A]been a long time [G]leaving
But it'll [C]be a long [D]time gone

[Verse 1]
Loved you [D]so much, I loved you so much
[G]I stayed around when I s[D]hould've moved along
I've [A]been a long time [G]leaving
But it'll [C]be a long [D]time gone

[Pre-chorus 1]
[A]Hello high line, hello highway
Here come a big old semi my way
[G]Stick up my thumb, hear the truck come
[D]Trees going by, looking like a fly
[A]On the big legs are my [G]Levi's[A]

[Chorus 2]
I've been a [D]fool, I've been a fool

I've been a [D]fool, I've been a fool

that [D]you've done me wrong
I've [A]been a long time [G]leaving
