Can't Be Too Long

?????????????????

written by Mark Farner

Intro (with drums, Don!) E C

E C

Aaaaaahhhh

E G

The heat of a summer day

G G A

Down and Down on my back

A A A E

Work like a dog in the sunlight

E E E

Tryin' to pay the people back

E G A

I killed a man in the springtime

A A-E E

Had to happen just to make it damn

E G A E

To buy my baby the things that she needs

E G

I guess I didn't think twice

A

And now I have to pay the price

E

For killing a man of another creed

E C D E C

Aaaaahhh aaaahh aaah

E

Bm F#m Bm

I guess I have to be strong

Bm F#m D D# E

The rest of my life can't be too long

E G A

I know I die some day

A E

And we're going far away

E G A E

And you won't remember the things that I've done.

E

I feel a shedding tear

G

It's only been a year

A

But I know I'll be dead

E

When that ev'ning comes

E C D E C E

Aaaaaahhh aaaah aaaaah

E E

then play this little riff 3 times:

e:----------------|

B:----------------|

G:----------------|

D:-------1-2--4---|

A:--2--4----------|

E:----------------|

and change into Bm

Bm F#m Bm

I guess I have to be strong

Bm F#m D D# E

The rest of my life can't be too long

E C D E C E

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?
