Intro: A5  
Verse:
He lAmived down by the farmhouse
where the sGtray cats sleep at night,
just a dFeck of cards,
two fold out chairs,
and the Eghost of his wife
and the Amdevil lived in his doorway,
kept oGut the love and hope.
He lived a lFong, long, long time,E  
a long time ago.
He lAmost one yellow sunday,
when he rGeached into his throat
and pFulled out all the people
that he had Ebeen
and tried to choke
but toAmgether they overwhelmed him,
and he cGouldn't help but explode.
He lost a lFong, long, long time, E  
a long time ago.
Chorus:
DmAsked a man in town,
and they said he's lAmawless.
Said he was sEtrange, and he was all aAmlone.
No place to Ggo,
he went up in sFmoke.E  
A5
Verse:
Well Amhe left in a hurry
when the coGps kicked in his door.
He jumped oFut the second story,
limped down the rEoad
and hijacked a car.
He stuck his hAmead out the broken window,
and he hoGwled like the devil's own.
He left a lFong, long, long time,E  
a long time ago.
Chorus:
Asked a man in town,
and they said he's lawless.
Said he was strange, and he was all alone.
no place to go,
he went up in smoke.
Verse:
He fAmlew right past the border,
he ditched the cGar and dyed his hair.
he tFook out his deck of cards
for a couple last rEounds
of solitaire,
and he sAmlept just like a baby,
though the nGight was hard and cold.
He flew a lFong, long, long time,E  
a long time ago.
When he paAmssed through the devil's doorway,
well he kGnew just where he was.
He threw bFack his head and howled
as he resiEgned himself to dust
and they fAmound him in the rio fuerte,
His bGody was still afloat.
He passed a lFong, long, long time,E  
a long time ago.

Jack Conte - Long Long Time Ago, standard tuning, tabbing by Spm

Intro:

Verse:

He lived down by the farmhouse

where the stray cats sleep at night,

just a deck of cards,

two fold out chairs,

and the ghost of his wife

and the devil lived in his doorway,

kept out the love and hope.

F E

He lived a long, long, long time,

a long time ago.

He lost one yellow sunday,

when he reached into his throat

and pulled out all the people

that he had been

and tried to choke

but together they overwhelmed him,

and he couldn't help but explode.

F E

He lost a long, long, long time,

a long time ago.

Chorus:

Asked a man in town,

and they said he's lawless.

E Am

Said he was strange, and he was all alone.

No place to go,

F E

he went up in smoke.

Verse:

Well he left in a hurry

when the cops kicked in his door.

He jumped out the second story,

limped down the road

and hijacked a car.

He stuck his head out the broken window,

and he howled like the devil's own.

F E

He left a long, long, long time,

a long time ago.

Chorus:

Asked a man in town,

and they said he's lawless.

Said he was strange, and he was all alone.

no place to go,

he went up in smoke.

Verse:

He flew right past the border,

he ditched the car and dyed his hair.

he took out his deck of cards

for a couple last rounds

of solitaire,

and he slept just like a baby,

though the night was hard and cold.

F E

He flew a long, long, long time,

a long time ago.

When he passed through the devil's doorway,

well he knew just where he was.

He threw back his head and howled

as he resigned himself to dust

and they found him in the rio fuerte,

His body was still afloat.

F E

He passed a long, long, long time,

a long time ago.
