1968 Turnpike Troubadours
There are three choruses, each of them labeled.
After the last verse you play chorus 1, then
there is an instrumental, followed by chorus 3
to end the song. All chorus chords are the same.
Enjoy!
[Cadd9]There ainâ??t a thing in the world t[D]o take me back
like a [G]dark haired [G/F#]girl in a [Em7]Cadillac
[Cadd9]The main street of an [D]old forgotten [G]town
And sunlight shines and fine white lines
on weathered stores with open signs
They may as well just close em down
(Chorus 1)
And you [Cadd9]look like [G]1968
or [D]was it [G]69
When I [Cadd9]heard you caught a [G]bullet
well I [D]guess youâ??re doin fine
And you [Cadd9]speak of a [G]revolution
like itâ??[D]s someplace that youâ?[G]?ve been
Youâ??ve been [Cadd9]a long tim[G]e gone
good to s[D]ee ya, my old [G]friend
Oh and now that sign has gone away
replaced instead by silver age
and moonlight fallin on the avenue
oh and I could sleep if you would drive
it just canâ??t keep my mind alive
and youâ??ve got nothing better else to do
(Chorus 2)
and weâ??ve all been lookin for you
like a hobo you walk in
well how the mighty all have fallen
how the holy all have sinned
is that the clatterin of sabers
or the cool September wind
well youâ??ve been a long time gone
good to see you my old friend
and thereâ??s just two times a day like this
ya find that sort of blissfulness
the sun it sets and rises in the morn
and with shakin hands, I rub my eyes
free of all my alibis
Just shakin like the day that I was born
(chorus 1)
(Chorus 3)
And when the rounds were fired that april
you were on the balcony
when ten thousand tear drops hit the ground
in memphis Tennessee
you were a prideful rebel yell
among a million marchin men
well youâ??ve been a long time gone
good to see you my old friend
