One, Two, Three, (start with notes G -> A -> B)
C D G D/F# Em
C D G
[Verse]
C D
There ain't a thing in the world to take me back
G D/F# Em
Like a dark-haired girl in a Cadillac
C D G
On main street of an old forgotten town
C D
The sun light shines in fine white lines
G D/F# Em C
On weathered stores with open signs
D G
They may as well just close 'em down.
[Chorus]
C G D G
And you look like 1968 or was it '69
C G
When I heard you caught a bullet
D
Well I guess you're doing fine
C G
And you speak of revolution
D G
Like it's some place that you've been
C G
Well you've been a long time gone
D
Good too see you my old friend.
[BREAK]
C D G D/F# Em
[Verse]
C D
Oh now that sign is gone away
G D/F# Em
Replaced instead by silver age
C D G
and moonlight falling on the avenue
C D
Oh and I could sleep if you would drive
G D/F# Em
I just can't keep my mind alive
C D G
And you've got nothing better else to do
[Chorus 2]
C G
And we've all been looking for you
D G
Like a hobo you walk in
C G
Well how the mighty all have fallen
D
How the holy all have sinned
C G
Is that the clattering of sabers
D G
Or the cool September winds
C G
Well you've been a long time gone
D
Good to see you my old friend.
[BREAK]
C D G D/F# Em
[Verse]
C D
And there's just two times a day like this
G D/F# Em
You find this kind of blissfulness
C D G
The sun it sets and rises in the morn
C D
And we're shakin hands, I rub my eyes
G D/F# Em
Free up all my alibis
C D G
Just a blinking like the day I was born
[Chorus]
C G D G
And you look like 1968 or was it '69
C G
When I heard you caught a bullet
D
Well I guess you're doing fine
C G
And you speak of revolution
D G
Like it's some place that you've been
C G
Well you've been a long time gone
D
Good too see you my old friend.
[Outro]
C G D G
And when the rounds were fired that April you were on the balcony
C G D
When ten thousand tear drops hit the ground in Memphis, Tennessee
C G D G
You were a prideful rebel yell among a million marching men.
C G
And you've been a long time gone
D G
Good to see you my old friend
C G
Well you've been a long time gone
D G
Good to see you my old friend.
