F#dim7 234242
[INTRO]
[C] [F] [G7] [C] [G7]
[VERSE 1]
I've [C]sung this song, but I'll [G7]sing it again
Of the [C]place that I lived on the [G7]wild windy plains
In the [C]month called [C7]April, [F]county called [F#dim7]Gray
And [G7]here's what all of the people there [C]say
[CHORUS]
[C]So long, it's been good to know yuh
[G7]So long, it's been good to [C]know yuh; so [C7]long, it's [F]been good to know yuh
This [C]dusty old dust is a-[G7]gettin' my home, & I've got to be [F]driftin' a[C]long
[VERSE 2]
A [C]dust storm hit, & it [G7]hit like thunder
It [C]dusted us over, & it [G7]covered us under
[C]Blocked out the [C7]traffic & [F]blocked out the [F#dim7]sun
[G7]Straight for home all the people did [C]run, singin'
[CHORUS]
[C]So long, it's been good to know yuh
[G7]So long, it's been good to [C]know yuh; so [C7]long, it's [F]been good to know yuh
This [C]dusty old dust is a-[G7]gettin' my home, & I've got to be [F]driftin' a[C]long
[VERSE 3]
We [C]talked of the end of the [G7]world & then
[C]We'd sing a song & then [G7]sing it again
We'd [C]sit for an [C7]hour & [F]not say a [F#dim7]word
And [G7]then these words would be [C]heard
[CHORUS]
[C]So long, it's been good to know yuh
[G7]So long, it's been good to [C]know yuh; so [C7]long, it's [F]been good to know yuh
This [C]dusty old dust is a-[G7]gettin' my home, & I've got to be [F]driftin' a[C]long
[VERSE 4]
[C]Sweethearts sat in the [G7]dark & sparked
They [C]hugged & kissed in that [G7]dusty old dark
They [C]sighed & [C7]cried, [F]hugged & [F#dim7]kissed
Ins[G7]tead of marriage, they talked like [C]this: "Honey..."
[CHORUS]
[C]So long, it's been good to know yuh
[G7]So long, it's been good to [C]know yuh; so [C7]long, it's [F]been good to know yuh
This [C]dusty old dust is a-[G7]gettin' my home, & I've got to be [F]driftin' a[C]long
[VERSE 5]
Now the [C]telephone rang, & it [G7]jumped off the wall
[C]That was the preacher a-[G7]makin' his call
[C]He said, "Kind [C7]friend, this [F]may be the [F#dim7]end &
You've [G7]got your last chance of salvation of [C]sin"
[Instrumental Chorus]
[C] [G7] [C] [C7] [F] [C] [G7] [F] [C]
[VERSE 6]
The [C]churches was jammed & the [G7]churches was packed
And that [C]dusty old dust storm [G7]blowed so black
[C]Preacher could [C7]not read a [F]word of his [F#dim7]text
And he [G7]folded his specs & he took up col[C]lection, said
[CHORUS]
[C]So long, it's been good to know yuh
[G7]So long, it's been good to [C]know yuh; so [C7]long, it's [F]been good to know yuh
This [C]dusty old dust is a-[G7]gettin' my home, & I've got to be [F]driftin' a[C]long
