Verse 1
(D major) (E flat major) (D major) My parents raised me tenderly,
I was their only son. (E flat major) (D major)
(E flat major) My mind got mixed (D major) with rambling
when I was all so young. (E flat major)
(D major) And I left my home the first time
when I was twelve and one.
(E flat major) I'm a long time a -com (D major) in',
I'll be a long time gone (E flat major)
(D major) On the western side of Texas,
on the Texas plains
I tried to find a job or work,
but they said I was young of age (E flat major) (D major)
(E flat major) My eyes they burned (D major) when I heard,
Go home where you belong
(E flat major) (D major) (E flat major) I'll be (D major) a long time gone
(E flat major) I remember when I was ramblin'
(D major) around
with the carnival trains
Different towns, different (E flat major) people,
(D major) somehow they're all the same
I (E flat major) remember children's
faces (D major) best
I remember (E flat major) (D major) I'm a long
time a -comin',
I'll be a long time (E flat major) a -gone
I (D major) once loved (E flat major) a fair young maiden,
(D major) I ain't too big to tell
If she broke my heart a single time,
she broke it ten or twelve
I walked and talked all by myself,
I did not tell no one
I'm a long time a -comin',
babe, I'll be a long time gone (E flat major) (D major) (E flat major)
(D major) Many times by the highway side
I tried to flag your ride
With bloodshot eyes
and gritting teeth
I'd watch the cars roll by
The empty air hung in my head,
I was thinkin' all alone
And a long time (E flat major) a -com (D major) in',
I'll be a long time gone (E flat major)
(D major) You might see me on your crossroads
when I'm a -passin' through
Remember me how you wish to
as I'm a -driftin' from your view
I ain't got the time to think about it,
I got too much to get done,
Well, I'm a long time a -comin',
and I'll be a long time gone. (E flat major)
(D major) If I can't help somebody
with a word or a song,
If I (E flat major) can 't show somebody
(D major) they're travelin' wrong,
But I know I ain't no prophet,
and I ain't no prophet's son (E flat major)
I'm just a long time (D major) a -comin',
and I'll be a long time gone (E flat major) (D major)
So you can have your beauty,
it's skin deep and it only lies
And you can have your youth,
it'll rot before your eyes
Just give to me my gravestone
with it clearly carved upon
There's a long time a -comin'
and I'll be a long time gone
(D major)
