Oftentimes the most profound songs are the ones that tell the simple truth
in
a straightforward way. The Everlys hit the bulls-eye dead center with this
ballad, which showcases their vocal harmonies so beautifully.
LONG TIME GONE
Written by Tex Ritter and Frank Hartford
From the album "Songs Our Daddy Taught Us" by the Everly Brothers
E
You cheated me and made me lonely.
B
I tried to be your very own.
A E
There'll be a day you'll want me only
B [tacit--------------] E
But when I leave, I'll be a long time gone.
A E
Be a long time gone, be a long time gone.
B [tacit--------------] E
Yes, when I leave, I'll be a long time gone.
You're gonna be sad, you're gonna be weepin'.
You're gonna be blue and all alone.
You'll regret the day you seen me leavin'
'Cause when I leave, I'll be a long time gone.
Be a long time gone, be a long time gone.
'Cause when I leave, I'll be a long time gone.
You'll see my face through tears and sorrow.
You'll miss the face you called your own.
Baby, there'll be no tomorrow
'Cause when I leave, I'll be a long time gone.
Be a long time gone, be a long time gone.
Yes, when I leave, I'll be a long time gone.
Any old key will work. I have it in E here 'cause near as I can tell,
that's
what the recording's in. Call your harmony singers together and go to town!
