Subject: CRD/LYR/TAB: A long time ago - Jim Croce

A few days ago someone asked about Photographs and Memories by

John Denver, but actually he or she was reffering to A long time ago

by Jim Croce. So here it is. I TABbed the intro only (due to

lazyness...), which is basically the same as the verse.

A long time ago - Jim Croce

Intro: G - D - Em - C - G/B - Am - C - G

G D Em

Seems like such a long time ago

C G/B Am C G

I was walking on lonely road

G D Em

Getting tired of dreamin' alone

C G/B Am C G

Like all the lonely people I had known

Seems like such a long time ago

There was no-one who would share my song

I was just a boy far from home

And I became a man when you came along

C C/B Am Am/G Em

We spent the whole night talking

D C G D G

You said you'd like to see the sun rise

C C/B Am Am/G Em

But in the gold of morning

D C G D G

There was nothing that I had not seen in your eyes

Em D

Hmmm

C G/B

I was so afraid to touch you

A G

Thought you were too young to know

C C/B Am Em D

So I just watched you sleeping

C G/B

Then you woke and said to me

Am G

The night is cold it frightens me

C C/B Am Em D

I could sleep so easy next to you

Wasn't very long ago

You said that you would like to share my road

Then you started singing my song

You said so many nights are waiting

Let's not spent a moment waisting time

'Cause we have very far to go

I will go if you will take me

I have never had a lover

I am young but I am so alone

We spent the whole night talking

(...)

But in the gold of morning

(...)

Em D D7 G

Hmmm, mmm mmm
