[Intro]
G
[Verse]
G C G
There's a long line of mourners coming down my street
D7
Their fancy cars are such a sight to see
G C G
They're all of your rich friends that you knew in the city
D7 G
And now they've finally brought you back to me
[Verse]
C G
The papers told of how you lost your life
D7
Of the party and the fatal crash that night
G C G
The race on the highway, the curve nobody's seen
D7 G
Now you're riding in that long black limousine
[Verse]
G C G
When you left home you told me that, some day you'd be returnin'
G D7
With a fancy car for the whole town to see
G C G
Well, everybody's watching now, I guess you could say that, that you finally got your dream
D7 G
You're riding in that long black limousine
[Verse]
C C N.C. G
Through tears I watched as you ride by
D7
With a chauffeur at the wheel dressed up so fine
G C G
I'll never love another, my heart and all my dreams
D7 G
Ride with you in that long black limousine
[Verse]
G C G
Precious memories how they linger
D7
How they yet flood my soul
G C G
In mysteries of the midnight
D7 G
Precious sacred scenes unfold
D7 C G
Precious sacred scenes unfold
