I've ^Csung this song, but I'll ^G7sing it again Of the ^Cplace that I lived on the ^G7wild windy plains In the ^Cmonth called ^C7April, ^Fcounty called ^F#dim7Gray And ^G7here's what all of the people there ^Csay

^CSo long, it's been good to know yuh ^G7So long, it's been good to ^Cknow yuh; so ^C7long, it's ^Fbeen good to know yuh This ^Cdusty old dust is a-^G7gettin' my home, & I've got to be ^Fdriftin' a^Clong

A ^Cdust storm hit, & it ^G7hit like thunder It ^Cdusted us over, & it ^G7covered us under ^CBlocked out the ^C7traffic & ^Fblocked out the ^F#dim7sun ^G7Straight for home all the people did ^Crun, singin'

^CSo long, it's been good to know yuh ^G7So long, it's been good to ^Cknow yuh; so ^C7long, it's ^Fbeen good to know yuh This ^Cdusty old dust is a-^G7gettin' my home, & I've got to be ^Fdriftin' a^Clong

We ^Ctalked of the end of the ^G7world & then ^CWe'd sing a song & then ^G7sing it again We'd ^Csit for an ^C7hour & ^Fnot say a ^F#dim7word And ^G7then these words would be ^Cheard

^CSo long, it's been good to know yuh ^G7So long, it's been good to ^Cknow yuh; so ^C7long, it's ^Fbeen good to know yuh This ^Cdusty old dust is a-^G7gettin' my home, & I've got to be ^Fdriftin' a^Clong

^CSweethearts sat in the ^G7dark & sparked They ^Chugged & kissed in that ^G7dusty old dark They ^Csighed & ^C7cried, ^Fhugged & ^F#dim7kissed Ins^G7tead of marriage, they talked like ^Cthis: "Honey..."

^CSo long, it's been good to know yuh ^G7So long, it's been good to ^Cknow yuh; so ^C7long, it's ^Fbeen good to know yuh This ^Cdusty old dust is a-^G7gettin' my home, & I've got to be ^Fdriftin' a^Clong

Now the ^Ctelephone rang, & it ^G7jumped off the wall ^CThat was the preacher a-^G7makin' his call ^CHe said, "Kind ^C7friend, this ^Fmay be the ^F#dim7end & You've ^G7got your last chance of salvation of ^Csin"

The ^Cchurches was jammed & the ^G7churches was packed And that ^Cdusty old dust storm ^G7blowed so black ^CPreacher could ^C7not read a ^Fword of his ^F#dim7text And he ^G7folded his specs & he took up col^Clection, said

^CSo long, it's been good to know yuh ^G7So long, it's been good to ^Cknow yuh; so ^C7long, it's ^Fbeen good to know yuh This ^Cdusty old dust is a-^G7gettin' my home, & I've got to be ^Fdriftin' a^Clong
