[Verse 1]
[G]Daddy sits on
a' front porch swinging
Looking out on a va[C]cant [G]fie[D]ld
Used to be filled with burley t'bacca
Now he knows it never [G]will
My Brothers found work in Indiana
M' Sisters a nurse at the
[C]old folks [D]home
Mama still cooking too much for supper
And me I've been a long time [G]gone
I've been a [C]long [G]time [D]gone
[C]No, I ain't hoed a [G]row since
I [D]don't know when
Long [G]time [C]gone
And it [D]ain't coming back again
[G][C][G]
[D][Bm][G]
Deliah plays that ol' church piano
Sitting out on her [C]daddy's [G]far[D]m
She always thought that
we'd be together
Lord I never meant to do her [G]harm
Said she could hear me
singin' in the choir
Me, I heard an[C]other [G]son[D]g
I caught wind and hit the road runnin'
And Lord, I've been a long time [G]gone
I've been a [C]long [G]time [D]gone
[C]Lord, I ain't had a prayer
[G]since I [D]don't know when
Long [Bm]time [C]gone
And it [D]ain't comin' back [G]again

[D][A][Em][E]

Now [F]me, I went to Nashville
Tryin' to beat the big deal
[G]Playin' down on Broadway
Gettin' there the hard way
[C]Living[F] from a tip jar
Sleeping in my car
[G]Hocking my guitar
Yeah I'm gonna be a [A]star[D]
Now, [G]me and Deliah singing
every Sunday
Watching the children and the [C]garden [D]grow
We listen to the radio to
hear what's cookin'
But the music ain't got no [G]soul
Now they sound tired but they don't
sound Haggard
They've got money but
they [C]don't [G]have [D]Cash
They got Junior but they don't have Hank
I think, I think, I think the rest is
A [C]long [G]time [D]gone
[C]No, I ain't hit the [G]roof [Bm]since
I [D]don't know when
Long [Bm]time [C]gone
And it ain't [D]coming back
I said a [C]long [G]time [D]gone
[C]No, I ain't honked the [G]horn
since I [D]don't know when
Long [C]time gone
And it [D]ain't coming back [G]again

[Outro 1]
Yeah
