******************* A LONG TIME AGO *******************
performed by Waylon Jennings.
Capo on the 2nd fret.
Verse 1:
B
I don't look the way the average cowboy singer looks
E
I'll admit i've taken things i never should of took
F#
You can read a different story in a lot of different books
E
But even then you won't really know
F# B
How it was a long time ago
Verse 2:
B
Women have been my trouble since i found out they weren't men
E
In spite of that i stopped and took a wife now and then
F#
They built their fences high but they couldn't hold me in
E
I was born with a fire down below
F# B
And i learned to fly a long time ago
Verse 3:
B
Don't ask me about the years i spent out in the rain
E
About the ones i spent in love or the ones i spent insane
F#
Don't ask me who i gave my seat to on that plane
E
I think you already know
F# B
I told you that a long time ago
Verse 4:(a tone higher)
C#
Me and ol' Willie,lordy we've been sold and bought
F#
I guess you all heard about some kind of system that we fought
G#
We ain't the only outlaws just the only ones they caught
F#
They tried to run us off but Willie's slow
G# C#
I quit running a long time ago
