Verse 1
(G major) I (C major) sung this song, but I'll sing (G major) it again
Of the place (C major) where I lived
on (G major) the wild windy plain
A month (C major) called April
in a county (F major) called Gray
An (C major) d here's what all of
(G major) her people have (C major) said
But it's so long,
it's been good to know you
So (G major) long, it's been good (C major) to know you
So long, it's (F major) been good to know you
this dusty (C major) old dust
is a (G major) -getting my home
(E minor)
Verse 2
(G major)
And I've got to be drifting along
(C major)
Verse 3
A dust storm came
and it (G major) hit like thunder
Verse 4
It (C major) dusted us over and it (G major) covered us under
Verse 5
And it (C major) blocked out the traffic
and it (F major) blacked out the sun
Verse 6
Strayed (C major) to first shelter
that people (G major) did find
(C major) So
Verse 7
long, it's been good to know you
So (G major) long, it's been good (C major) to know you
So long, (F major) it's been good to know you
This (C major) dusty old dust is a (G major) -kiddin' my hole
And I've got to be driftin' along (C major)
We talked of the end of the
(G major) world and then
We'd (C major) sing a song and then (G major) sing it again
I'd (C major) sit for an hour and (F major) not say a word,
and (C major) then these words (E minor) would be (C major) good.
So long, it's been good to know (E minor) ya.
So (G major) long, it's been good (C major) to know ya.
So long, it's (F major) been good to know ya.
This (C major) dusty old dust (E minor) is
(G major) a -gettin' my heart.
And I gotta be driftin' along. (C major)
The sweethearts, sat in the (G major) dark,
and they sparked, and they (C major) hugged, and they kissed in that (G major) dusty old dark,
and sighed, (C major) and they cried,
and they hugged, (F major) and they kissed.
Instead (C major) of marriage,
they're (G major) talking like this, (C major) honey, so long,
it's been good to know you.
(G major) So long, it's been good (C major) to know you.
So long, it's (F major) been good to know you.
This dusty (C major) old dust
is a (G major) -gettin' in my heart
And I gotta be driftin' along (C major)
The telephone rang and
it jumped (G major) off the wall
That (C major) was the preacher mak (G major) in' his call
And he said, (C major) kind friend,
this may (F major) be the end
And you've got (C major) your last chance
at (G major) salvation from sin (C major)
Well, the church, it was jammed
and the (G major) church, it was packed
And that (C major) dusty old dust storm,
it (G major) blew so black
The (C major) preacher could not
read a (F major) word of his text
So he fol (C major) ded his specs
and took up collection
Said, so long, it's been good to know you
So (G major) long, it's been good to know (C major) you
So long, it's (F major) been good to know you
This (C major) dusty old dust is (G major) a -gettin' mild
And I got to be driftin' along
(C major)
