The Rainmakers - Long Gone Long

      [Verse]

A                        B            C#m       A
Older than I used to be, younger than I'm gonna be
A                           C#m        E
Fewer things puzzle me than when I was young
    A
But when my pace is falling slack
B              C#m      A
I catch myself thinking back
A
A certain night, a certain summer
C#m       E
Long gone long

{Interlude]
A B C#m A A C#m E

A
August she was swinging low
B               C#m      A
Town of about a thousand-so
A                       C#m        E
Out of school, ready to get out of here
A                          B              C#m      A
Off to farm, off to State, each going our separate ways
A                        C#m          E
Graduation message still sweet in our ears

[Chorus]

E  C#m A                    C#m    A   B
Oh oh oh, come singin' now, clocks are slow
    E      C#m  A
And hearts beat on and on and
C#m  A    B
Long gone long

[Verse]

A
Got into a car that night
B                  C#m    A
Drove out past the signal light
A                              C#m         E
Past the city limits, guess it wasn't that far
A
Stopped out on a rural route
B                 C#m A
Gooch got out his .22
A                                    C#m         E
Shooting at a freight train that was hauling new cars

A
Drinking underneath the stars
B                 C#m    A
Watching counting meteors
A                                 C#m           E
Robert said you know those fell a hundred years ago
A
The light is just now reaching earth
B              C#m       A
I said man for what it's worth
A                             C#m          E
I think you are wrong and you really don't know

[Chorus]

E  C#m A                    C#m    A   B
Oh oh oh, come singin' now, clocks are slow
    E      C#m  A
And hearts beat on and on and
C#m  A    B
Long gone long

[Bridge]

A                                                 B
Is something going on, I tell you nothing's going on
C#m                 A         E
Nothing's going on, going on, going on
A                                                 B
Is something going on, I tell you nothing's going on
C#m                 A B   A
Nothing's going on, going on

{Interlude]

[Verse]

A                         B              C#m   A
Goodbye to the home team, goodbye to the rinky-dinks
A                          C#m            E
Goodbye to a girl, down my street heading home
A                                   B             C#m      A
She stepped out from behind a tree, tears running down her cheeks
A                              C#m           E
Goodbye to more than either of us could have known
