So Long, It's Been Good to Know You Woody Guthrie
Verse
I [C]got the news that the [G7]war had begun
It was [C]straight for the Army [G7]Hall that I run
And [C]all of the peop[F]le in my home town
Was a r[C]unning up and a [G7]running down
Singing:
Chorus
[C]So long, it's been good to know you
[G7]So long, it's been good to know you
[C]So long, it's [F]been good to know you
There's a [C]mighty big war that's [G7]got to be won
And we'll get back together a[C]gain.
Verse
[C]The crowd was packed by the [G7]railroad track
[C]People was yelling and p[G7]atting my back
[C]And while the engineer [F]rung his bell
[C]I hugged all the mothers and [G7]kissed all the gals,
Singing:
Chorus
[C]So long, it's been good to know you
[G7]So long, it's been good to know you
[C]So long, it's b[F]een good to know you
There's a [C]mighty big war that's [G7]got to be won
And we'll get back together [C]again
Verse 3
[C]I got to the camp and I l[G7]earnt how to fight
[C]Fascists in daytime, [G7]mosquitoes at night
[C]I got my orders to [F]cross o'er the sea
So I [C]waved "goodbye" to the g[G7]irls I could see,
Singing:
Chorus
[C]So long, it's been good to know you
[G7]So long, it's been good to know you

Verse 4
[C]I got on a boat and I [G7]started to float
My o[C]ld pack-sack and my [G7]big wool coat
With t[C]en thousand men [F]we rode the foam
And s[C]ung this song to the [G7]people back home:
Chorus
[C]So long, it's been good to know you
[G7]So long, it's been good to know you

And we'll get back together a[C]gain
Verse 5
[C]I landed somewhere on a [G7]fighting shore
With [C]ten million soldiers and [G7]ten million more
And w[C]hile we were chasing [F]that Super Race
We [C]sung this song [G7]in the chase.
It was:

And w[C]alk away from that [G7]lonesome place
