Waylon Jennings - A Long Time Ago guitar tab

******************* A LONG TIME AGO *******************

performed by Waylon Jennings.

Capo on the 2nd fret.

Verse 1:

B

I don't look the way the average cowboy singer looks

E

I'll admit i've taken things i never should of took

F#

You can read a different story in a lot of different books

E

But even then you won't really know

F# B

How it was a long time ago

Verse 2:

B

Women have been my trouble since i found out they weren't men

E

In spite of that i stopped and took a wife now and then

F#

They built their fences high but they couldn't hold me in

E

I was born with a fire down below

F# B

And i learned to fly a long time ago

Verse 3:

B

Don't ask me about the years i spent out in the rain

E

About the ones i spent in love or the ones i spent insane

F#

Don't ask me who i gave my seat to on that plane

E

I think you already know

F# B

I told you that a long time ago

Verse 4:(a tone higher)

C#

Me and ol' Willie,lordy we've been sold and bought

F#

I guess you all heard about some kind of system that we fought

G#

We ain't the only outlaws just the only ones they caught

F#

They tried to run us off but Willie's slow

G# C#

I quit running a long time ago
