[Verse 1]
[Am]Now I was just a k[E]id way back in m[Am]y hometow[F]n
There was a [C]crazy little man [Dm]who
once [E]came [Am]around
Synco[E]patin' Sandy was
[Am]the stranger's [F]name
Playing [C]marathon pian[Dm]o,
that was [E]Sandy's [Am]game.

[Verse 2]
He [F]played all [C]day, [F]he played all [C]night
[Eb]After [Bb]48 hours he [Eb]was still alright
[Bb]We f[F]ed him whiskey[C]
from a [F]paper cup
[C]And we [Eb]wondered how [Bb]long he
[C]could keep [Dm]it up[Am].

[Verse 3]
[Bb]
How long? how [Eb]long?[Bb]
How long? how [Eb]long?

[Verse 4]
Well his [Cm]eyes are rollin' and
he can't even speak
[Gsus4]The spirit's willing but
[G]the flesh is [Bb]weak
How long? how long?

[Interlude 1]
How long? how long?

[Verse 5]
[Am]People would come and the
people would [F]go
And the [C]people [Dm]all agreed it
wasn't [E]much of [Am]a show
They all said [E]Sandy must
be [Am]weak in the head
[F]And if he did[C]n't stop soo[Dm]n
he would [E]drop down [Am]dead.

[Verse 6]
He [F]played all [C]day, he [F]played all [C]night
[Eb]After [Bb]96 hours he [Eb]was still alright
[Bb]We f[F]ed him whiskey
from [C]a p[F]aper c[C]up
And we [Eb]wondered how [Bb]long [C]he
could keep [Dm]it up[Am].

[Verse 7]
[Bb]
How long? how [Eb]long?[Bb]
How long? how [Eb]long?

[Verse 8]
Well his [Cm]eyes are rollin' and
he can't even speak
[Gsus4]The spirit's willing but
[G]the flesh is [Bb]weak
How long? how long?
How long? how long?
(fade)

[Verse 9]
How long? how long?
