George Jones - Long time to forget

^GIt will take a long time to ^D7forget you my dear A long long time I'll ^Gregret you're not here A long time remembering when I ^Chad you so near It will ^Gtake a long ^D7time to ^Gforget

There's a lot of people out a-^D7walking tonight Thinking about arms that ^Gheld 'em so tight Memories keep a-^Ccoming in sight Take a ^Glong long ^D7time to ^Gforget

I know a young fellow that ^D7lived down the street He had a good woman every^Gthing was complete He was understanding yes ^Cshe was so sweet It took a ^Glong long ^D7time to ^Gforget

Now there's an old saying you're ^D7as old as you feel But time waits for no one ^Gand it never will I keep a-wanting and ^Cloving you still It takes a ^Glong long ^D7time to ^Gforget
