For all the Arlo's fans,

Here's that old Arlo's song (1974), as I heard it, and transcribed 20

years ago (1978).

Any corrections would be appreciated

I play it with capo on first fret.

Won't Be Long

words and music by Arlo Guthrie

G Em

Not so long ago I set out on this road

C D G

With my friends and my companions by my side

G Em

And I think of you wherever I do go

Em C D G

I'm a rambler, I ain't hard to satisfy.

CHORUS:

C D G

Won't be long till I am home again with you

G C D

Just a few more miles to go

D G D Em

Won't be long till I can get back on my own

Em C D G

Won't be long till I can spend my time with you

G /Em /Em C /D G

In the airport I'm standing in a line

Search my pockets, check me out and I'm alright

It's not hard but it ain't easy all the time

To be in some other town most every night

CHORUS

Oh, I miss the singing from porch banjo nights

And when friends come by to pass the time away

And when the winds that chill the Bershires in the night

Heading east through Massachusetts toward the bay.
