[Intro]
NONE


[Verse]
[tab]        C
I told Gilgamesh goodbye

         Em
And rode off on the great deluge

       F
On my raft of temu plastic

         F
With my harppon and my pagan friend

            C
I rode the surge into America

       Em
On my earth big trail boat

              F
Some say the folks that are dead
Are gonna rise again They'll be lucky if they float
           G
I'd rather be that son of darkness

         F                       C  F C
Than to know and pretend I don't
[Verse]
         C
And the mob boss with his golden chain

     Em
Was talking down at the docks

        F
Saying you will know that I'm the Lord
When all the working stops
       G                 G7
Everything'll be replaced
Everything that can
              F
It's how it is and always been
Down here in the plight of man Saying [Chorus]
C                    G
So-o long it's been good to know ya

 F                  C
So-o long it's been good to know ya

        G
You be good
I'll be good
             F
Maybe we'll get it when we're older

        C     C
I feel older
[Instrumental] F C F C G G7 F [Break]
 F                     C
Tell me where are you goin'

        C  F
Nowhere

 F                      G  G7
Tell me where will you run

                     C
I'm going where the folks are kind

             G
And there's good sunshine

         F
And the air's alright

N.C.                                  G  G  G7
Even if I gotta make it all up in my mind
[Verse]
     C
The hoard of weeping crocodiles

 Em
Scrolled upon their tech

           F
While the pageant of the reptiles
Charted new unfathomed depths
          C
And they tried to navigate

    Em
The pit their slaves had dug

      F
I saw Atlas  teaching Peter
and his pals all how to shrug
              G
Some say the dead will rise again

            F
Maybe they will if just to vote

           G
I'd rather be the son of darkness

         F
Than to know and pretend I don't
Saying [Chorus]
C                    G
So-o long it's been good to know ya

 F                  C
So-o long it's been good to know ya

        G
You be good
And I'll be good
             F
Maybe we'll get it when we're older

        C    G
I feel older

C                    G
So-o long it's been good to know ya

 F                  C
So-o long it's been good to know ya

        G
You be good
And I'll be good
            F                 F C  F C
Maybe they won't throw us over
