Verse 1
G 
So long,
it's been good to know you
D 
G 
So long, it's been good to know you
C 
So long, it's been good to know you
G 
D 
What a long time since I've been home
G 
And I gotta be drifting along
C 
D 
I've sung this song but I'll sing it again
G 
Of the people I've met
C 
D 
and the places I've been
G 
Some of the troubles that
C 
bothered my mind
G 
And a lot of good people
D 
G 
that I've left behind
The sweethearts they sat in the dark
D 
and they sparked
G 
They hugged and they kissed
D 
G 
D 
in that dusty old dark
G 
They sighed and they cried
C 
and they hugged and they kissed
G 
But instead of marriage,
D 
G 
they talk like this, honey
So long, it's been good to know you
D 
G 
So long, it's been good to know you
C 
So long, it's been good to know you
G 
D 
What a long time since I've been home
G 
And I gotta be drifting along
D 
I went to your family, I asked them for you
G 
They all said, take her,
D 
oh take her, please do
G 
She can't cook or sew,
C 
and she won't scrub your floors
G 
So I put on my coat,
D 
G 
tipped out the front door
I walked down the street
D 
to the grocery store
G 
It was crowded with people,
D 
G 
D 
both rich and both poor
G 
C 
I asked the man how his butter was sold
G 
He said, one pound of butter
D 
G 
for two pounds of gold
I said, so long, it's been good to know you
D 
G 
So long, it's been good to know you
C 
So long, it's been good to know you
G 
D 
What a long time since I've been home
G 
And I gotta be drifting along
My telephone rang
D 
and it jumped off the wall
G 
C 
D 
That was the preacher a -making a call
G 
C 
He said, we're waiting to tie the knot
G 
You're getting married,
D 
G 
believe it or not
Well, the church, it was jammed,
D 
G 
D 
the church, it was packed
G 
The pews were crowded
D 
C 
from the front to the
D 
G 
A  thousand friends waited
C 
to kiss my new bride
G 
But I was so anxious
D 
C 
G 
I rushed her outside, told them
D 
G 
C 
So long, it's been
good to know you
G 
D 
What a long time since I've been home
G 
And I gotta be drifting along
D 
And I gotta be drifting along
