Can't Be Too Long
?????????????????
written by Mark Farner
Intro (with drums, Don!) E C
Aaaaaahhhh
The heat of a summer day
Down and Down on my back
Work like a dog in the sunlight
Tryin' to pay the people back
I killed a man in the springtime
A A-E E
Had to happen just to make it damn
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
Aaaaahhh aaaahh aaah
I guess I have to be strong
The rest of my life can't be too long
I know I die some day
And we're 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 ev'ning comes
Aaaaaahhh aaaah aaaaah
then play this little riff 3 times:
e:----------------| B:----------------| G:----------------| D:-------1-2--4---| A:--2--4----------| E:----------------|
and change into Bm
I guess I have to be strong
The rest of my life can't be too long
Aaaaaahhh aaaah aaaaah
slow part E-C
E...G...A...E and off we go!
Solo over E G A keep this pattern going
fulminating end
Ain't it a great tune?
