[F] So long it's been good to know ya
[C7] So long it's been good to know ya
[F] So long it's [Bb] been good to know ya
What a [F] long time since [C] I've been home
And I've [F] gotta be [C] drifting a-[F]long
[F] I've sung this song but I'll [Gm] sing it a[C] gain
Of the [F] people I've met and the [Gm] places I've [C] seen
Of [F] some of the troubles that [Bb] bothered my mind
And a [F] lot of good people that [C] I've left be-[F]hind saying
[F] So long it's been good to know ya
[C7] So long it's been good to know ya
[F] So long it's [Bb] been good to know ya
What a [F] long time since [C] I've been home
And I've [F] gotta be [C] drifting a-[F]ong
[F] The sweethearts they sat in the [Gm] dark and they [C] sparked
They [F] hugged and they kissed in that [Gm] dusty old [C] dark
They [F] sighed and they cried and they [Bb] hugged and they kissed
But in[F] stead of marriage they [C] talked like [F] this honey
[F] So long it's been good to know ya
[C7] So long it's been good to know ya
[F] So long it's [Bb] been good to know ya
What a [F] long time since [C] I've been home
And I've [F] gotta be [C] drifting a-F]long
[F] I went to your family I [Gm] asked them for [C] you
They [F] all said take her oh [Gm] take her please [C] do
She [F] can't cook or sew and she [Bb] won't scrub your floor
So I [F] put on my coat and tip-[C] toed out the [F] door singing
[F] So long it's been good to know ya
[C7] So long it's been good to know ya
[F] So long it's [Bb] been good to know ya
What a [F] long time since [C] I've been home
And I've [F] gotta be [C] drifting a-[F]long

[F] I walked down the street to the [Gm] grocery [C] store
It was [F] crowded with people both [Gm] rich and both [C] poor
I [F] asked the man how his [Bb] butter was sold
He said [F] one pound of butter for [C] two pounds of [F] gold I said
[F] So long it's been good to know ya
[C7] So long it's been good to know ya
[F] So long it's [Bb] been good to know ya
What a [F] long time since [C] I've been home
And I've [F] gotta be [C] drifting a-[F]long
[F] My telephone rang and it [Gm] jumped off the [C] wall
[F] That was the preacher [Gm] making a [C] call
[F] He said we're waiting to [Bb] tie the knot
[F] You're getting married be-[C]lieve it or [F] not
[F] Well the church it was jammed and the [Gm] church it was [C] packed
The [F] pews were crowded from the [Gm] front to the [C] back
A [F] thousand friends waited to [Bb] kiss my new bride
But [F] I was so anxious I [C] rushed her out-[F]side told them
[F] So long it's been good to know ya
[C7] So long it's been good to know ya
[F] So long it's [Bb] been good to know ya
What a [F] long time since [C] I've been home
And I've [F] gotta be [C] drifting a-[F]long
