A Long Time Ago by Jim Croce
[INTRO]
G D Em C G
G D Em D
Seems like such a long time ago
C G D C G
I was walking down a lonely road
G D Em D
Getting tired of dreaming alone
C G D C G
Like all the lonely people I had known
G D Em D
Seems like such a long time ago
C G D C G
There was no-one who would share my song
G D Em D
I was just a boy far from home
C G D C G
But I became a man when you came along
C G Am G Em
We spent the whole night talking
G C Em D7 G
You said you'd like to see the sun rise
C Am G Em
But in the gold of morning
G C Em D7 G
There was nothing that I had not seen in your eyes
D Em D
Hmm Hmm
C G
I was so afraid to touch you
Am7 G
Thought you were too young to know
C G Am7 Em D
So I just watched you sleeping
C G
Then you woke and said to me,
Am7 G
"The night is cold it frightens me,
C G Am7 Em D Am7 Em D
I could sleep so easy next to you"
G D Em D
Wasn't very long ago
C G D C G
You said that you would like to share my road
G D Em D
Then you started singing my song
C G
You said, "So many nights are waiting,
Am7 G C
Let's not spend a moment wasting time,
G Am Em D
'Cause we have very far to go
C G
I will go if you will take me
Am7 G
I have never had a lover
C G Am7 Em D Am7 Em D
I am young but I am so alone"
C G Am G Em G C Em D7 G
We spent the whole night talking
C Am G Em G C Em D7 G D Em Am D G
But in the gold of morning
Em D
Hmmm
Em D D7 G
Hmmm, mmm mmm
