Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
One, Two, Three
[C][D][G][Em]
[C][D][G]

[Verse 1]
There ain't a [C]thing in the world
to [D]take me back
Like a [G]dark-haired girl in a [Em]Cadillac
On [C]main street of an [D]old forgotten [G]town
The [C]sun light shines in [D]fine white lines
On wea[G]thered stores with [Em]open signs
[C]They may as wel[D]l just close 'em dow[G]n

[Chorus 1]
And you [C]look like 19[G]68 or was [D]it [G]'69
When I [C]heard you caught a [G]bullet
Well I [D]guess you're doing fine
And you [C]speak of revo[G]lution
Like it's [D]some place that you've [G]been
Well you've been a [C]long time [G]gone
Good too [D]see you my old [G]friend

[Interlude 1]
[C][D][G][Em]
[C][D][G]

[Verse 2]
Oh and [C]now that sun has [D]gone away
Re[G]placed instead by [Em]silver rays
Of [C]moonlight falling [D]on the ave[G]nue
Oh and [C]I could sleep if y[D]ou would drive
I [G]just can't keep my [Em]mind alive
And [C]you've got nothing [D]better else to [G]do

[Chorus 2]
And we've [C]all been looking [G]for you
Like a [D]hobo you walk [G]in
Well how the [C]mighty all have [G]fallen
How the [D]holy all have sinned
Is that the [C]clattering of [G]sabers
Or the [D]cool September [G]winds
Well you've been a [C]long time [G]gone
Good too [D]see you my old [G]friend

[Interlude 2]
[C][D][G][Em]
[C][D][G]

[Verse 3]
And there's [C]just two times a [D]day like this
You [G]find this kind of [Em]blissfulness
The [C]sun it sets and [D]rises in the [G]morn
And we're shak[C]in hands, I [D]rub my eyes
[G]Free up all my [Em]alibis
[C]Just a blinking like the [D]day that I was [G]born

[Chorus 3]
And you [C]look like 19[G]68 or was [D]it [G]'69
When I [C]heard you caught a [G]bullet
Well I [D]guess you're doing fine
And you [C]speak of revo[G]lution
Like it's [D]some place that you've [G]been
Well you've been a [C]long time [G]gone
Good too [D]see you my old [G]friend

[Outro 1]
And when the [C]rounds were fired
that A[G]pril you were [D]on the balco[G]ny
When ten [C]thousand tear drops
[G]hit the ground in [D]Memphis, Tennessee
You were a [C]prideful rebel [G]yell
among a [D]million marching [G]men
And you've been a [C]long time [G]gone
Good too [D]see you my old [G]friend
Well you've been a [C]long time [G]gone
Good too [D]see you my old [G]friend
