Verse 1
(D major) (A major) (D major) I've sung this old song
and I'll (A major) sing it again
Of the (D major) people I've met
and the places (A major) I've seen
Of (D major) some of the troubles
that (G major) bothered my mind
And a (D major) good lot of people
that I've (A major) left behind
(D major) Sing it so long, it's been good to know you
So (A major) long, it's (D major) been good to know you
So long, it's (G major) been good to know you,
but (D major) a long time since (A major) I've been home
And I've got to be nipping along (D major)
I walked down the street
to the gro (A major) cery store
I was crowded with people,
both (D major) rich and both poor
I asked the man how his (G major) butter was sold
He said, (D major) one pound of butter
costs (A major) two pounds of gold
(D major) I said, so long, it's been good to know you
So (A major) long, it's (D major) been good to know you
So long, it's (G major) been good to know you
Been a (D major) long time since (A major) I've been home
And it's hard to be drifting alone (D major)
On top of old (G major) Smoky I'm covered in (D major) snow
I lost my true (A major) lover
I call it to school, (D major) I call it to pleasure, (G major)
I love it, and part in this grief, (D major)
And a false -hearted lover (A major)
is worse than a (D major) thief. (G major)
(D major) Yeah, it's good, isn't it?
Oh, lovely.
Down in the valley, aren't
Oh, lovely.
Down in the valley.
Right, I'm the governor.
One, two...
Down in the valley, valley so low (A major)
Hang your head over, it would blow (D major)
If you don't love me,
love whom you please (A major)
But throw your arms around me
Not you, Les
If my heart (D major) is (G major) (D major)
Down in the valley, the valley, no, no (A major)
Hang your head over the hill, we'll (D major) know
Use (G major) your oth (D major) er chord, man
(B major) So (E major) long, it's been good to know you
So (B major) long, (E major) it's been good to know you
It's (A major) been good to know you,
been a (E major) long time since I've (B major) been home,
nine hours, and I gotta be drifting along, (E major) (A major)
got (E major) ta be drifting (B major) along. (E major)
