C D G
VERSE
C D There ain't a thing in the world to take me back G D 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 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 Em
VERSE
C D Oh now that sign is gone away G D 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 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 Em
VERSE
C D And there's just two times a day like this G D 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 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
