Cant Be Too Long

Grand Funk Railroad

 EC
 Aaaaaahhhh

 EG
 The heat of a summer day 
 GGA
 Down and Down on my back  
 AAAE
 Work like a dog in the sunlight 
 EEE
 Tryin' to pay the people back
 EGA
 I killed a man in the springtime 
 AA-EE
 Had to happen just to make it damn
 EGAE
 To buy my baby the things that she needs
 EG
 I guess I didn't think twice  
 A
And now I have to pay the price  
 E
For killing a man of another creed

 ECDEC
 Aaaaahhh   aaaahh  aaah

 E
 BmF#mBm
 I guess I have to be strong  
 BmF#mDD#E
 The rest of my life can't be too long     
 EGA
 I know I die some day  
 AE
And we're going far away
 EGAE
And you won't remember the things that I've done.

 E
 I feel a shedding tear
 G
 It's only been a year
 A
 But I know I'll be dead
 E
When that ev'ning comes

 ECDECE
 Aaaaaahhh    aaaah   aaaaah      

 EE
  then play this little riff 3 times:

e:----------------|
B:----------------|
G:----------------|
D:-------1-2--4---|
A:--2--4----------|
E:----------------|


and change into Bm

 BmF#mBm
 I guess I have to be strong  
 BmF#mDD#E
 The rest of my life can't be too long     

 ECDECE
 Aaaaaahhh    aaaah   aaaaah      

slow part E-C

E...G...A...E and off we go!

Solo over E G A keep this pattern going

fulminating end

Ain't it a great tune?
