Verse 1
Gm
Eb
F
I was their only one
My mind got mixed with rambling
Eb
F
when I was all so young
I left my home the first time
Gm
Eb
Gm
F
when I was twelve and one
And I'm a long time in a common maw,
Ab
Gm
F
I'll be a long time gone
I remember when I was ramblin'
Gm
F
around the carnival trains
Different towns, different people,
Gm
F
somehow they're all the same
I remember children's faces best,
Gm
F
I remember travelin' on
And I'm a long time in a comin',
Fm
Ab
F
I won't be a long time gone
Many times by the highway side
Gm
F
I tried the flag a ride
With bloodshot eyes and gritting teeth
Gm
F
I watched the cars roll by
I banged my head against the wind
Gm
F
and shouted at a stone
And I'm a long time in a coming
Ab
F
and I'll be a long time gone
You might see me on your crossroads
Gm
F
when I am passing through
Remember me how you wish to,
Gm
F
as I'm drifting from your view
I ain't got time to think about it,
Gm
F
I got too much to get done
Well I'm a long time in a coming,
Ab
F
and I'll be a long time gone
If I can't help somebody
Gm
F
with a word or a song
If I can't show somebody,
Gm
Eb
Gm
F
they are a -travelin' wrong
But I know I ain't no prophet,
Gm
F
and I ain't no prophet's son
I'm just a long time incomer
Ab
Gm
F
and I'll be a long time gone
So you can have your beauty,
Gm
F
it's skin deep and it only lasts
And you can have your youth,
Gm
F
it'll rot before your eyes
Just give to me my gravestone
Gm
F
with it clearly carved upon
And there's a long time in a coming
Ab
F
and I'll be a long time gone
My parents raised me tenderly,
Gm
F
I was their only one
My mind got mixed with ramblin'
Gm
F
when I was all so young
I left my home the first time
Gm
F
when I was twelve and one
And I'm a -long time in a -comin' more
Fm
Ab
F
and I'll be a -long time gone
I'm a -long time in a -comin' more
Ab
F
and I'll be a -long time gone
You
How did you like the song?
