A Long Time Ago 2 Acordes

	  This song, written by Waylon, was originally on his 'I've Always Been Crazy'  
album, which hasn't been issued on CD as of 30/10/00, when I did this.  
Hopefully, Buddha Records will put it on CD. This song, as far as I know, isn't  
currently in-print; not even on compilations. That's a shame, because it's a  
cool song :) 
 
Enjoy! 
 
 
VERSE ONE: 
D                                                      G 
I don't look the way the average cowboy singer looks 
 
I'll admit I've taken things that I never should'a took 
        A 
You can read a different story in a lot of different books 
     G 
But even then you won't really know 
       A                 D 
How it was a long time ago 
 
 
VERSE TWO: 
Women have been my trouble since I found out they weren't men 
In spite of that I stopped and took a wife now and then 
They built their fences high, but they couldn't hold me in 
I was born with a fire down below 
And I learned to fly a long time ago 
 
 
VERSE THREE: 
Don't ask me about the years I spent out in the rain 
About the ones I spent in love or the ones I spent insane 
Don't ask me who I gave my seat to on that plane 
I think you already know 
I told you that a long time ago 
 
 
VERSE FOUR: 
KEY CHANGE TO 'E' 
 
E 
Me and ol' Willie, Lordy, we've been sold and bought 
  A 
I guess y'all heard about some kind of system that we fought 
   B 
We ain't the only outlaws, just the only ones they caught 
     A 
They tried to run us off but Willie's slow 
                            E 
I quit runnin' a long time
