Chords for Willie Nelson & Brenda Lee ✈ You Left Me a Long Long Time Ago ✈

You know when I was a little girl growing [A] up in the Smoky Mountains
I used to dream a lot about faraway places and things [Abm] I wanted to do and
Sometimes I used to start [D] daydreaming right in the middle of something else and I've been asked more times than a few
When I was in that faraway place.
Hey, Dolly, are you coming back?
And [Eb] where are you been?
All this is just to show you that your body can [E] be present
But your spirit [Fm] can be absent and Willie wrote about that so [Eb] well in this [N] next song that he's gonna do with Brenda Lee
_ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ You tell me
_ [C] today
_ That you're [G] leaving
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A]
But just think of why?
_ I'm sure that you must [D] know
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] today
_ Might be the day
_ [C] That you walk away
_ _ _ _ _ [G]
But you left me [D] a long long [G] time ago
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D]
Day is just the day
_ [G]
That ends it all
_ _ _ _ [A]
Except the usual memory
_ [D] That always linger on _ [G] and today [D] might [G] be the day
_ [C] That you walk away
_ _ _ _ [G]
But you left me [D] a long long [G] time ago
[C] _ [G] I
_ [D] _ _ [G] _
Stood with [C] helpless hands
And [G] watched me lose your love _ a
_ _ [A] _
Little more each day
And then it was [D]
gone
_ _ _ _ And [G] I kept wondering
Just how long
until [C] this day
_ _ _ How _ [G] _
long could [D] you keep hanging [G]
on
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] So, please don't say you're sorry [G] don't say anything
_ _ _ _ _ [A]
Don't try to say why you must leave [D]
just go
_ _ _ [Gbm] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] That [C]
you walk away
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
