Once Theyre Gone

Capo: 2

      G                Am        C           G   
I was eastbound out of Dallas on Valentine’s Day 
          G                 Bm              C     G 
And after five weeks on the road, I’m going home 
      G          Bm            C                A        
And I realized today, I wished all those weeks away 
        G              D                 G 
And you can’t get them back once they’re gone 


[Refrão]
 
             D                     G 
Once they’re gone, they’re gone forever 
              C                                         G  
And if you’re lucky enough, you can bring ‘em back in a song 
       D             Em              C                D   
Moving on is hard as ever, well and you can’t get ‘em back 
             G 
Once they’re gone 


Well, an empty house and a letter is a sad, sad thing to find 
After you’ve been driving all night long 
And it’s hard to rest your head on a cold and empty bed 
When you can’t get ‘em back once they’re gone 


[Refrão]
 
             D                     G 
Once they’re gone, they’re gone forever 
              C                                         G  
And if you’re lucky enough, you can bring ‘em back in a song 
       D             Em              C                D   
Moving on is hard as ever, well and you can’t get ‘em back 
             G 
Once they’re gone 


[Refrão]
 
             D                     G 
Once they’re gone, they’re gone forever 
              C                                         G  
And if you’re lucky enough, you can bring ‘em back in a song 
       D             Em              C                D   
Moving on is hard as ever, well and you can’t get ‘em back 
             G 
Once they’re gone 

Oh, you know, that you can’t get ‘em back 
Once they’re gone
