[Intro] A5 [Verse]
He lAmived down by the farmhouse where the sGtray cats sleep at night, just a dFeck of cards,
two fold out chairs,
and theE ghost of his wife and the Amdevil lived in his doorway, kept oGut the love and hope. He lived a lFong, long, long time, E
a long time ago.
He lAmost one yellow sunday, when he rGeached into his throat and pFulled out all the people that he had Ebit
and tried to choke
but toAmgether they overwhelmed him, and he cGouldn't help but explode. He lost a lFong, long, long time, E
a long time ago. [Chorus]
DmAsked a man in town and he said he's Amlonely Said he was Gmstrange, and he was all aDmlone No place to Emgo He went up in Dmsmoke do do doooo doooo dEoooo doooo
A5 [Verse]
Well Amhe left in a hurry when the coGps kicked in his door. He jumped oFut the second story, limped down the rEoad
and hijacked a car.
He stuck his hAmead out the broken window, and he hoGwled like the devil's own. He left a lFong, long, long time, E
a long time ago. [Chorus]
DmAsked a man in town and he said he's Amlonely Said he was Gmstrange, and he was all aDmlone No place to Emgo He went up in Dmsmoke do do doooo doooo dEoooo doooo
[Verse]
He fAmlew right past the border, he ditched the cGar and dyed his hair. he tFook out his deck of cards for a couple last rEounds
of solitaire,
and he sAmlept just like a baby, though the nGight was hard and cold. He flew a lFong, long, long time, E
a long time ago.
When he paAmssed through the devil's doorway, well he kGnew just where he was. He threw bFack his head and howled as he resiEgned himself to dust and they fAmound him in the rio fuerte, His bGody was still afloat. He passed a lFong, long, long time, E
a long time ago. A5 [Chords] A5 - A Power Chord = x-0-2-2-x-x Am - A Minor = x-0-2-2-1-0 G - G Major = 3-2-0-0-0-1 F - F Major = 1-3-3-2-1-1 E - E Major = 0-2-2-1-0-0 Dm - D Minor = x-x-0-2-3-1
