A Long Time Ago | Jim Croce | Lyrics ☾☀ Chords

[G] _ _ [D] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [D] _
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ [G] _ _ _
Seems like [D] such a long [Em] time ago, _ _ [D] _
[C] _ [G] I was walking [C] on a [G] lonely road, _
Getting [D] tired of dreaming [Em] alone, _ [D] _
[C] Like [G] all the lonely people I had known. _
Seems like [D] such a long [Em] time ago, _ _ [D] _
[C] There [G] was no one who [C] would share [G] my song.
I was just [D] a boy far [Em] from home, _ _ [D] _
[C] But I [G] became a man [C] when you [G] came along. _
[C] [G] We spent [A] the [Em] whole night talking, _ [D] You [C] said you'd [Em] like to [D] see the _ [G] sunrise,
[C]
[G] But [Em] in the gold of morning, _ Was [G] nothing [C] that I had [Em] not [G] seen in your eyes.
_ [Em] _
_ [D] _ I _ _ _ _
[C] _ [G] was so afraid to [Am] touch you, Thought [G] you were too young to [C] know,
So I just [G] watched you sleeping.
[A] _ [Em] _ [D] _ _
[C] Then you [G] woke and said to me,
[Am] The night is [G] cold, it frightens [C] me, I could sleep [G] so easy next [A] to [Em] you.
[D] _ _
[Em] _ [D] _ _ [G] _ [D] Wasn't very [Em] long ago, _ [D] _ [C] You [G] said that you would like to [G] share my road,
Then you [D] started singing [Em] my song.
_ [G] [C] You said so many [G] nights are waiting,
[Am] Let's [G] not spend a moment [C] wasting time, [G] Cause we have very [Am] far to [Em] go.
[D] _ _ [C] I will [G] go if you will take [Am] me, I have [G] never had a lover.
[C] I am [G] young but I am so [A] alone. _
[D] _ [Am] _ [Em] _ [D] _ _ [C] [G] We [Am] spent the [Em] whole night talking, _ _ [G] _ [Em] _
_ [D] _ [G] _ _ _ [C] [G] But in [Am] the [Em] gold of morning.
_ _ _ [G] _ [C] _ [Em] _
[D] _ [G] _ _ _ [Em] Mmmmmmm.
