David Allan Coe - Gone (Like)
Capo 1   
[Intro]
C G D C
[Verse]
She's Gtaken to Cwalking, alone in the Gevenin?
He's taken to Dsleepin?, all Cnight in his Gchair
Together they Cboth, had a reason for Glivin?
Back when the Dfeelin?, of Cloving was Gthere
Then she took to Cdreamin?, when he wasn't Glookin?
And he took to Dlookin?, for Cmoments Galone
Together they Cdrifted, apart from each Gother
Together they Dboth knew, the Cfeelin? was Ggone.
[Chorus]
Gone Like the Csparrow, south for the Gwinter
Gone Like the Driver, Cout to the Gsea
Gone Like the Cleaves from, the trees when it?s Gsnowing
Gone Like the Dlove that, they Conce gave so Gfree.
[Verse]
Till he took to Cstarring, at his lonesome Gshadow
And she took to Dhummin?, the Cwords to some Gsong
They both felt it Cslippin?, that feeling of Ggiving
Leaving the Dfeeling, of Cbeing aGlone
Each of them Creach, out for the Gother
Together they Dgo though, the Cmotions aGlone
Tryin? to preCtend that, nothing else Gmatters
Making Dbelieve that, their Clove isn't Ggone.
[Chorus]
Gone Like the Csparrow, south for the Gwinter
Gone Like the Driver, Cout to the Gsea
Gone Like the Cleaves from, the trees when it?s Gsnowing
Gone Like the Dlove that, they Conce gave so Gfree.
[Outro]
Gone Like the Dlove that, they Conce gave so Gfree.
