Can’t Be Too Long chords
Grand Funk Railroad 1969 *
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Funk_Railroad
E G A 2x
Ah, Ah, Ahhhhh... 2x
The heat of a summer day
Poundin' down on my back
Work like a dog in the sunlight
Tryin' to pay the people back
I killed a man in the spring time
Had to work hard just to make a dime
To buy my baby the things that she needs
I guess I didn't think twice
And now I have to pay the price
For killing a man of another creed
Ah, Ah, Ahhhhh... 2x
I guess I'll have to be strong
The rest of my life can't be too long
I know I'll die some day
And be going far away
And you won't remember the things that I've done
I feel a shedding tear
It's only been a year
But I know I'll be dead when that evening comes
Ah, Ah, Ahhhhh... 2x
I guess I'll have to be strong
The rest of my life can't be too long
Ah, Ah, Ahhhhh... 2x E G A 4x
