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 (...)
