A Long Time Ago  by  Jim Croce



INTRO:
G D Em C G


G         D     Em  D
Seems like such a long time ago
C   G        D C G
I was walking down a lonely road
G         D     Em  D
Getting tired of dreaming alone
C      G       D C  G
Like all the lonely people I had known

G         D     Em  D
Seems like such a long time ago
C     G        D   C G
There was no-one who would share my song
G      D      Em  D
I was just a boy far from home
C    G        D  C   G
But I became a man when you came along


C  G    Am  G   Em
We spent the whole night talking
  G     C    Em   D7 G
You said you'd like to see the sun rise
C     Am  G Em
But in the gold of morning
         G   C    Em   D7  G
There was nothing that I had not seen in your eyes
D Em D
Hmm Hmm


C     G
I was so afraid to touch you
Am7         G
Thought you were too young to know
  C          G    Am7 Em D
So I just watched you sleeping
C         G
Then you woke and said to me,
   Am7       G
"The night is cold it frightens me,
C        G      Am7 Em D Am7 Em D
I could sleep so easy next to you"


G      D   Em D
Wasn't very long ago
C       G         D   C G
You said that you would like to share my road
G         D     Em  D
Then you started singing my song
C         G
You said, "So many nights are waiting,
Am7        G       C
Let's not spend a moment wasting time,
        G      Am Em D
'Cause we have very far to go
C      G
I will go if you will take me
Am7     G
I have never had a lover
C       G    Am7 Em D Am7 Em D
I am young but I am so alone"



C G     Am  G   Em    G C Em D7 G
We spent the whole night talking
C     Am  G Em    G C Em D7 G D Em Am D G
But in the gold of morning
Em  D
Hmmm
Em D  D7 G
