[Intro 1]
[G][C][D][G]

[Verse 1]
So [G]long,
it's been good to know you
So [D]long, it's been good to [G]know you
So long, it's [C]been good to know you
What a [G]long time since [D]I've been home
And I gotta be drifting [G]along
I've sung this song but I'll [C]sing it [D]again
Of the [G]people I've met
and the [C]places [D]I've been
[G]Some of the troubles that
[C]bothered my mind
And a [G]lot of good people
[D]that I've [G]left behind
The sweethearts they sat in the dark
and they [D]sparked
They [G]hugged and they kissed
in that [D]dusty [G]old [D]dark
They [G]sighed and they cried
and they [C]hugged and they kissed
But in[G]stead of marriage,
they [D]talk like [G]this, honey
So long, it's been good to know you
[D]So long, it's been good to [G]know you
So long, it's [C]been good to know you
What a [G]long time since [D]I've been home
And I gotta be drifting [G]along
I went to your family, I [D]asked them for you
They [G]all said, take her,
[D]oh take her, please do
She [G]can't cook or sew,
and she [C]won't scrub your floors
So I [G]put on my coat,
[D]tipped out [G]the front door
I walked down the street
to the grocery [D]store
It [G]was crowded with people,
both [D]rich [G]and [D]both poor
I [G]asked the man how his [C]butter was sold
He [G]said, one pound of butter
for [D]two pounds [G]of gold
I said, so long, it's been good to know you
[D]So long, it's been good to [G]know you
So long, it's [C]been good to know you
What a [G]long time [D]since I've been home
And I gotta be drifting [G]along
My telephone rang
and it jumped [D]off the wall
[G]That was the preacher a [C]-making [D]a call
He [G]said, we're waiting to [C]tie the knot
[G]You're getting married,
[D]believe it or [G]not
Well, the church, it was jammed,
the [D]church, [G]it was pac[D]ked
The [G]pews were crowded
from the [D]front to [C]the
[D]A t[G]housand friends waited
to [C]kiss my new bride
But [G]I was so anxious
I [D]rushed her out[C]side, [G]told them
So [D]long, [G]it's bee[C]n
good to know you
What a [G]long time [D]since I've been home
And I gotta be drifting [G]along
And I [D]gotta be drifting along

[Outro 1]
