INTRO: Em
Another [F]time I'm going [D#]home [Em]
Down this [F]road[D#] on my [A]own [Em]
I see the [F]trees and feel the [D#]sun [Em]
Is this the [F]time[D#] my travelling's [A]done?
CHORUS:
But [D]Daddy, it's been too [G]long
Since I've been [D]grown and gone a[A]long
How're you [D]doing, and how've you [G]been?
It'll be a[D]while 'til I'm here a[A]gain[Em]
I see the [F]house and the old wood [D#]shed [Em]
I wonder how [F]many [D#]friends[A] are [Em]dead
Have you seen my [F]boy, is he growing [D#]tall? [Em]
How's his [F]ma,[D#] is she pretty [A]still?
CHORUS:
But [D]Daddy, it's been too [G]long
Since I've been [D]grown and gone a[A]long
How're you [D]doing, and how've you [G]been?
It'll be a[D]while 'til I'm here a[A]gain[Em]
The years have been [F]good, I could be drinking [D#]less [Em]
Out on the [F]coast,[D#] I've found it's [A]best[Em]
There's been lots of [F]singing and lots of [D#]pain [Em]
But you [F]know,[D#] I'd live it a[A]gain
CHORUS:
But [D]Daddy, it's been too [G]long
Since I've been [D]grown and gone a[A]long
How're you [D]doing, and how've you [G]been?
It'll be a[D]while 'til I'm here a[A]gain[Em]
Some things [F]haven't changed way out [D#]there[Em]
I still have my [F]shotgun[D#] and my long [A]hair[Em]
And the mountains and [F]me are the best of [D#]friends[Em]
I'm still looking for a [F]woman[D#] who really under[A]stands
CHORUS:
But [D]Daddy, it's been too [G]long
