So Long It's Been Good To Know You
By Woody Guthrie

Verse
C G7
I got the news that the war had begun
C G7
It was straight for the Army Hall that I run
C F
And all of the people in my home town
C G7
Was a running up and a running down
Singing:
Chorus
C
So long, it's been good to know you
G7
So long, it's been good to know you
C F
So long, it's been good to know you
C G7
There's a mighty big war that's got to be won
C
And we'll get back together again.
Verse
C G7
The crowd was packed by the railroad track
C G7
People was yelling and patting my back
C F
And while the engineer rung his bell
C G7
I hugged all the mothers and kissed all the gals,
Singing:
Chorus
C
So long, it's been good to know you
G7
So long, it's been good to know you
C F
So long, it's been good to know you
C G7
There's a mighty big war that's got to be won
C
And we'll get back together again
Verse 3
C G7
I got to the camp and I learnt how to fight
C G7
Fascists in daytime, mosquitoes at night
C F
I got my orders to cross o'er the sea
C G7
So I waved "goodbye" to the girls I could see,
Singing:
Chorus
C
So long, it's been good to know you
G7
So long, it's been good to know you
C F
So long, it's been good to know you
C G7
There's a mighty big war that's got to be won
C
And we'll get back together again
Verse 4
C G7
I got on a boat and I started to float
C G7
My old pack-sack and my big wool coat
C F
With ten thousand men we rode the foam
C G7
And sung this song to the people back home:
Chorus
C
So long, it's been good to know you
G7
So long, it's been good to know you
C F
So long, it's been good to know you
C G7
There's a mighty big war that's got to be won
C
And we'll get back together again
Verse 5
C G7
I landed somewhere on a fighting shore
C G7
With ten million soldiers and ten million more
C F
And while we were chasing that Super Race
C G7
We sung this song in the chase.
It was:
Chorus
C
So long, it's been good to know you
G7
So long, it's been good to know you
C F
So long, it's been good to know you
C G7
There's a mighty big war that's got to be won
C
And we'll get back together again
Verse 6
C G7
So it won't be long till the fascists are gone
C G7
And all of their likes are finished and done
C F
We'll throw the clods of dirt in their face
C G7
And walk away from that lonesome place
Singing:
Chorus
C
So long, it's been good to know you
G7
So long, it's been good to know you
C F
So long, it's been good to know you
C G7
There's a mighty big war that's got to be won
C
And we'll get back together again
