Verse 1
(D major) I sun (C sharp major) (A flat major) (A major) (D major) g this (C sharp major) song,
(D major) but I'll sing (A major) it again
Of the (C sharp major) place where I (D major) lived
in the wild (A major) windy plain
Of a (C sharp major) month called April
(D major) and a county (G major) called (F sharp major) Drain
And here's (C sharp major) what all (C sharp major) of
the people (A flat major) (A major) there say
So long, it's been (C sharp major) good (D major) to know (C sharp major) you,
So (A major) long, it's been good to (D major) know you,
So long, it's (F sharp major) been good to know you,
This dusty (D major) old dust is a (A major) -gettin' my home,
And I gotta be driftin' along (C sharp major) (D major)
A dust storm came,
(C sharp major) (A major) and it hit like thunder
And it (D flat major) dus ted us over (A major) ,
and it covered us un (A flat major) der
And it (D flat major) blocked out the traffic,
and it blacked (G flat major) out the sun
Straight (D flat major) for shelter,
(D flat major) the people (A flat major) did run (A major)
Saying (D major) so long,
it's been good to know you
So (A major) long, it's been good to know you
(D flat major) So long, (D major) it's been (G flat major) good to know you
This dusty (D major) old (D flat major) dust
is a (A major) -gettin' to my home
And I gotta be driftin' along (D major)
(D flat major) We'd talk (D major) to the end of
the (A major) world and then
We'd sing (D major) a song and
then sing (A major) it again
We'd sit for (D major) an hour and not (G major) say a word (G flat major)
And (D flat major) then these words would be (A major) heard
(D major) So long, it's been good to know you
So (A major) long, it's (A flat major) been good to know you
(A major) So (D flat major) long, (D major) it's (G flat major) been good to know you,
this (G major) dusty (D major) old dust
(A major) Cause I'm getting my home
and I gotta be drifting along (D major)
Well, our sweethearts, they sat in (A major) the dark
and they sparked and (A flat major) they
(C sharp major) hugged and they kissed
And that dusty (A flat major) old dark inside
(C sharp major) And they cried (C sharp major) and they hugged (F sharp major)
and they kissed
Instead of mar (C sharp major) riage they're
talkin' (A major) (A flat major) like (A major) this
Hon (D major) ey, so long,
it's been good (D flat major) to know ya
So (A major) long, it's been good to (A flat major) know (C sharp major) ya
(D major) So long, it's been good (G major) to know ya
This dusty (D major) old (C sharp major) dust (D major) is get
(A major) tin' to my (A flat major) home
An (A major) d I got a bed rippin' along (C sharp major) (D major) (A major) (A flat major) (A major) (A flat major)
(C sharp major) (G flat major) (G flat major) (D flat major) (D major) (A major) (A flat major) (A major) (D major)
(D flat major) (D major)
Telephone (D flat major) rang and it
jumped off the wall
That (D flat major) was the preacher a
-makin' (A flat major) his call
And he (D flat major) said, kind friend,
this may (G flat major) be the end
And you've got your (D flat major) last chance
at salvation (A flat major) from (A major) sin (D major) (D flat major)
Well, the church, it was jammed (D major)
(A major) and the church, it was packed
And that (A flat major) dusty (C sharp major) old dust
storm that blew so (A flat major) black (A major)
The (C sharp major) preacher could not
read a word of (G major) his (G flat major) text
So he fol (C sharp major) ded his fax,
took a collection (D flat major) and said
So long, it's been good to know you
So long, it's been good (A flat major) to know (D flat major) you
So long, it's been (G flat major) good to know you
This dusty (D flat major) old dust
is a (A flat major) -gettin' my home
And I've got a big rift in a lawn
(D flat major)
