by Jim Croce [Intro] G D Cadd9 Em (Dsus D) C G Am C G [Verse 1]

G                 D    Cadd9 Em D
Seems like such a long time ago

C       G            D7   C  G
  I was walking on a lone-ly road

G                D    Cadd9 Em  D
Getting tired of drea-min' alone

C              G
  Like all the lonely people

D7 C   G
I  had known

[Verse 2]

G                 D    Cadd9
Seems like such a long time

 Em Dsus D
ago

C           G
  There was no one

          D7    C  G
who would share my song

G            D   Cadd9    Em  Dsus D
I was just a boy far from home

C         G
  And I became a man

     D7  C     G
when you came along

[Chorus]

C  G         Am    Am7      Em
We spent the whole night talking

    Am         C
You said you'd like to see

    D7  G
the sun rise

C   G      Am   Am7   Em
But in the gold of morning

C         G       Am
There was nothing that

  Am7             D7   G
I had not seen in your eyes

 Em   D   Am D7
Hmmm-hmmm...

[Bridge 1]

C          G
I was so afraid to touch you

Am                   G
Thought you were too young to know

   C
So I just watched you

 G     Am D7
sleeping

C                 G
Then you woke and said to me

    Am                G
The night is cold, it frightens me

C                Am
I could sleep so easy

        Em  D7 Am D7
next to you

[Verse 3]

G           D   Cadd9  Em D
Wasn't very lo--ng    ago

C               G
  You said that you would like

   D7    C  G
to share my road

G                D  Cadd9
Then you started si-nging

   Em   D
my song...

[Bridge 2]

C    G       Am   Am7
 You said so many nights are waiting

C                   G
Let's not spend the moments

        Am
wasting time

               C    Am     Em D
'Cause we have very far to go

C            G
I will go if you will take me

Am           G
I have never had a lover

C              G
I am young but I am

Am  Em D Am D7
so alone

[Chorus 2]

C  G         Am    Am7      Em
We spent the whole night talking...

Am C D7 G

C   G      Am   Am7   Em
But in the gold of morning...

C G Am Am7 D7 G

 Em   D     G
Hmmm-hmmm...
