A Long Time Ago
Recorded by Waylon Jennings
Written by Shel Silverstein and Waylon Jennings

C
I don't look the way the average cowboy singer looks
F
I'll admit I've taken things I never should'a took
        G7
You can read a different story in a lot of different books
    F
But even then you won't really know
       G7              C
How it was a long time ago


Women have been my trouble since I found out they weren't men
   F
In spite of that I stopped and took a wife now and then
     G7
They built their fences high but they couldn't hold me in
      F
I was born with a fire down below
      G7                         C
And I learned to fly a long time ago


Don't ask me about the years I spent out in the rain
F
About the ones I spent in love or the ones I spent insane
      G7
Don't ask me who I gave my seat to on that plane
  F
I think you already know
  G7                        C
I told you that a long time ago


Me and ol' Willie Lordy we've been sold and bought
  F
I guess y'all heard about some kind of system that we fought
   G7
We ain't the only outlaws just the only ones they caught
     F
They tried to run us off but Willie's slow
  G7                       C
I quit running a long time ago

G
I look for trouble and I found it son
 
Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
 
I tried to run but I don't think I can
 
You make one move and you're a dead man friend
             C
Ain't living long like this
              G              D7    G  
Can't live at all like this  can I baby

   D7
He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back
 
And left me reeling on a steel reel rack
            C
They got'em all in the jailhouse baby
             G
Ain't living long like this
                             D7    G    
Can't live at all like this  can I baby
 
 
Grew up in Houston off the wayside drives
 
Son of a carhop and some all night dives
 
Dad drove a stock car to an early death
 
All I remember was a drunk man's breath
             C
Ain't living long like this
              G              D7    G 
Can't live at all like this  can I baby

    D7
You know the story how the wheel goes 'round
 
Don't let them take you to the man down town
               C
Can't sleep at all in a jailhouse baby
             G
Ain't living long like this
                             D7    G  
Can't live at all like this  can I baby
 
 
I live with Angel she's a roadhouse queen
 
Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee
 
I want to love her but I don't know how
 
I'm at the bottom in the jailhouse now
      C
Ain't living long like this
              G              D7    G
Can't live at all like this  can I baby

    D7
You know the story about the jailhouse rock
 
Don't want to do it but just don't get caught
            C
They got'em all in the jailhouse baby
             G
Ain't living long like this

I've held it all inward Lord knows I've tried

But it's an awful awakening in a country boy's life
                         F        C
To look in the mirror in total surprise
                                      G7          C
At the hair on your shoulders and the age in your eyes

It's a measure of people who don't understand
                           G7        C
The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band
                      F             C
I got my first guitar when I was fourteen 
                        G7            C
Now I'm crowding 30 and still wearing jeans

Not that I'm wiser It's only that  
                G7                       C

                                 G7                        C
Someday when you're older you'll smile at a man strong and tall

I went round round round in a whirl

I built every dream around one girl

How could lips that kiss so sweet lie and be so wrong

Our love was just a pattern of the perfect boy and girl

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name

I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
