Daddy sits on the front porch swingin', lookin' out on a vacant field 
                                                              D 
It used to be filled with burly tobacco now he knows it never will 
                                                             G   D     A 
My brother found work in Indiana, my sister's a nurse at the old folks 
home 
  
D   
Momma's still cookin' too much for supper and me, I've been a long time 
gone 
 
       G    D    A          G            D           A 
Been a long time gone, no I ain't hoed a row since I don't know when 
A    D    G           A                 D 
Long time gone and it ain't comin' back again 
 
Delia plays that old church piano, sittin' out on her daddy's farm 
She always thought that we'd be together, Lord, I never meant to do her 
harm 
Said she could heard me singin' in the choir, me I heard another song 
I caught wind and hit the road runnin' and Lord, I've been a long time 
gone 
 
Been a long time gone, Lord, I ain't had a prayer since I don't know 
when 
A    D    G           A                 D     E A E   B7   E 
Long time gone and it ain't comin' back again 
 
    C                          
Now me, I went to Nashville, tryin' to be the big deal 
D 
Playin' down on Broadway, gettin' there the hard way 
C 
Livin' from a tip jar, sleepin' in my car 
D                                      E     A 
Hockin' my guitar, yeah I'm gonna be a star 
 
Now me and Delia singin' every Sunday, watchin' the children and the 
garden grow 
We listen to the radio to hear what's cookin' but the music ain't got no 
soul 
Now they sound tired but they don't sound Haggard 
They got money but they don't have Cash, 
They got Junior but they don't have Hank, I think, I think, I think the 
rest is a... 
 
G    D    A          G             D            A 
Long time gone, no I ain't hit the roof since I don't know when 
A    D    G           A             
Long time gone and it ain't comin' back..  
         G    D    A          G              D            A  
I said a long time gone, no I ain't honked a horn since I don't know 
when 
A    D    G           A                    D  
Long time gone and it ain't comin' back again 
 
                                         A      
I said a long time, long time, long time gone, oh it's been a long time 
D                               A   
Long time, long time, long time gone 
                         D                                       A 
D  
Oh it's been a long time gone... Long time, long time, long time gone. 
Yeah, yeah
