[Verse 1]
[D]Daddy sits on the front porch swinging
Looking out on a [G]va [D]cant [A]field
Used to be filled with burley t'bacca
Now he knows it never [D]will
My [D]brother found work in Indiana
Sister's a nurse at the [G]old [D]folks [A]home
Mama's still cooking too much for supper
And me, I've been a long time [D]gone

[Chorus 1]
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 coming back again

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 2]
[D]Delia plays that ol' church piano
Sittin' out on her [G]dad[D]dy's [A]farm
She always thought that we'd be together
Lord, I never meant to do her [D]harm
Said she could hear me singin' in the choir
Me, I heard an[G]oth[D]er [A]song
I caught wind and hit the road runnin'
And Lord, I've been a long time [D]gone

[Chorus 2]
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 coming back [D]again

[Bridge 1]
Now [C]me, I went to Nashville
Tryin' to beat the big deal
[D]Playin' down on Broadway
Gettin' there the hard way
[C]Living from a tip jar
Sleeping in my car
[D]Hocking my guitar
Yeah, I'm gonna be a [E]star[A]

[Verse 3]
Now, [D]me and Delia singing every Sunday
Watching the children and the [G]gar[D]den [A]grow
We listen to the radio to hear what's cookin'
But the music ain't got [D]no soul
Now [D]they sound tired but they
don't sound Haggard
They've got money but they [G]don't [D]have [A]Cash
They got Junior but they don't have Hank
I think, I think, I think, the rest is

[Chorus 3]
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 coming back
I said a [G]long [D]time [A]gone
No, I [G]ain't honked the [D]horn
since I [A]don't know when
Long [D]time [G]gone,
and it [A]ain't coming back again

[Outro 1]
I said a [D]long time, long time, long time [A]gone
[A]Well, it's been a lon[A]g tim[A]e[D]
[D]Long time, long time, long time [A]gone
[A]Oh, it's been a lon[A]g tim[A]e gon[D]e
[D]Long time, long time, long time [A]gone
Yeah, yeah
