A Long Time Ago

Jim Croce

Intro: G - D - Em - C - G/B - Am - C - G


 GDEm
 Seems like such a long time ago
 CG/BAmCG
 I was walking on lonely road
 GDEm
 Getting tired of dreamin' alone
 CG/BAmCG
 Like all the lonely people I  had known

Seems like such a long time ago
There was no-one who would share my song
I was just a boy far from home
And I became a man when you came along

 CC/BAmAm/GEm
 We spent the whole night talking
 DCGDG
You said you'd like to see the sun rise
 CC/BAmAm/GEm
 But in the gold of morning
 DCGDG
There was nothing that I had not seen in your eyes
 Bmmm
 CG/B
 I was so afraid to touch you
 AG
 Thought you were too young to know
 CC/BAmEmD
 So I just watched you sleeping          
 CG/B
 Then you woke and said to me
 AmG
The night is cold it frightens me
 CC/BAmEmD
 I could sleep so easy next to you    

Wasn't very long ago
You said that you would like to share my road
Then you started singing my song

You said so many nights are waiting
Let's not spent a moment waisting time
'Cause we have very far to go
I will go if you will take me
I have never had a lover
I am young but I am so alone

We spent the whole night talking
(...)
But in the gold of morning
(...)
 EmDD7G
 Hmmm,  mmm mmm
