  			Intro: E 

            E 
You cheated me 

And made me lonely 

I tried to be 
          B 
Your very own 

              A 
There'll be a day 
               E 
You'll want me only 
           B 
But when I leave 
                    E 
I'll be a long time gone

Be a long time gone

Yes, when I leave 
                    E 
I'll be a long time gone 

                E 
You're gonna be sad 

You're gonna be weepin' 

You're gonna be blue 
        B 
And all alone 

                  A 
You'll regret the day 
            E 
You seen me leavin'

Yes, when I leave 
                    E 
I'll be a long time gone 

              E 
You'll see my face 

Through tears and sorrow 

You'll miss the love 
                B 
You called your own 

               A 
Baby, there'll be 
      E 
No tomorrow 
              B 
'Cause when I leave 
                    E 
I'll be a long time gone

Be a long time gone 
            B

                    E 
I'll be a long time gone

Be a long time gone

Be a long time gone 
            B 
Yes, when I leave 
                    E 
I'll be a long time gone 
            B

I'll be a long time gone
