Wont Be Long Tab

by Arlo Guthrie




For all the Arlo's fans,
years ago (1978).
Any corrections would be appreciated
I play it with capo on first fret.

Won't Be Long
words and music by Arlo Guthrie


                                 
Not so long ago I set out on this road
                                      
With my friends and my companions by my side
                                
And I think of you wherever I do go
                             
I'm a rambler, I ain't hard to satisfy.

CHORUS:
                                      
Won't be long till I am home again with you
                        
Just a few more miles to go
                                     
Won't be long till I can get back on my own
                                        
Won't be long till I can spend my time with you

In the airport I'm standing in a line
Search my pockets, check me out and I'm alright
It's not hard but it ain't easy all the time
To be in some other town most every night

CHORUS

Oh, I miss the singing from porch banjo nights
And when friends come by to pass the time away
And when the winds that chill the Bershires in the night
Heading east through Massachusetts toward the bay.
