[Verso 1]
 
          E                           B7 
Well I've sung this before,  and I'll sing it again 
          E                         B7 
'Bout the place that I lived on the wild windy plains 
     E           E7             A          A#dim7 
In a state of confusion, in the county of LA 
E                     B7              E 
Here's what all of my friends they did say 
 


[Refrão]
 
      E 
Honey so long, it's been good to know ya 
B7                         E            E7         A 
So long, it's been good to know ya; so long, it's been good to know ya 
     E                   B7                             A        E 
This dusty old dust has taken my home, & I've got to be driftin' along 
 


[Verso 2]
 
         E                      B7 
Well the lovers they sat in the dark & they sparked 
     E                             B7 
They hugged & they kissed in that dusty old dark 
      E             E7        A        A#dim7 
They  sighed    &   cried,    hugged & kissed 
E                         B7 
Instead of marriage, they talked like this: "Honey..."

E 
So long, it's been good to know ya 
B7                         E            E7         A 
So long, it's been good to know ya; so  long, it's been good to know ya 
     E                  B7                              A        E 
This dusty old dust has taken my home, & I've got to be driftin' along 
 


[Verso 3]
 
         E                    B7 
Well the television rang & it rang off the wall 
E                              B7 
That  was  the  preacher  just makin' his call 
         E     E7            A          A#dim7 
He said, "Kind friends, this may be the end 
E                            B7 
Maybe your last chance at salvation from sin" 
 


[Verso 4]
 
         E                         B7 
Well the churches was jammed & the churches was packed 
    E                      B7 
The dust storm blew and it blew so black 
         E              E7         A           A#dim7 
That the preacher could not read a word of his text 
      E                       B7 
So he folded his bible but he took up collection, singing

So long, it's been good to know ya 
B7                         E            E7         A 
So long, it's been good to know ya; so  long, it's been good to know ya 
     E                  B7                              A        E 
This dusty old dust has taken my home, & I've got to be driftin' along 
 


[Verso 5]
 
          E                         B7 
Well some friends that I know had a mighty great band 
     E                          B7 
They played and they played all across this great land 
        E           E7             A          A#dim7 
But the radio would not play their heartfelt songs 
        E                             B7 
So they packed up their bags and they moved to Wyoming singing

So long, it's been good to know ya 
B7                         E           E7         A 
So long, it's been good to know ya; so long, it's been good to know ya 
     E                   B7                                A        E 
This dusty old dust has taken my home..., & I've got to be driftin' along
