Austin City Limits 1978 version [Intro] G [Verse]
          G                            C       G
There's a long line of mourners coming down my street

                                     D7
Their fancy cars are such a sight to see

        G                             C               G
They're all of your rich friends that you knew in the city

                          D7                G
And now they've finally brought you back to me
[Verse]
    C                                G
The papers told of how you lost your life

                                      D7
Of the party and the fatal crash that night

    G                        C              G
The race on the highway, the curve nobody's seen

                          D7              G
Now you're riding in that long black limousine
[Verse]
         G                                                       C      G
When you left home you told me that, some day you'd be returnin'

G                                              D7
  With a fancy car for the whole town to see

G                                                   C                                          G
  Well, everybody's watching now, I guess you could say that, that you finally got your dream

                      D7              G
You're riding in that long black limousine
[Verse]
        C       C N.C.              G
Through tears I watched as you ride by

                                            D7
With a chauffeur at the wheel dressed up so fine

     G                      C             G
I'll never love another, my heart and all my dreams

                      D7              G
Ride with you in that long black limousine
[Verse]
G                 C        G
Precious memories how they linger

                      D7
How they yet flood my soul

G            C      G
In mysteries of the midnight

         D7              G
Precious sacred scenes unfold

         D7              C     G
Precious sacred scenes unfold
