A LONG TIME AGO (Mary Karlzen & Mark Scandariato)
-------------------------------------------------
[The G6 is probably played as plain G a lot of the time, but in the
intro, it's clearly G6 (320030), so I'll assume that Mary plays it
that way through the whole song.]

You crossed my mind again today, I was out to get the mail
C C D D G6 G6 G6 G6
And I wondered if you think of me when you're riding the rails
C C D D G6 G6 G6 G6
And I wondered if you cared at all, sometimes I don't know
C C D D G6 G6 G6 G6
And I was hoping you could write to me, from a long time ago

I had that dream again last night, we were back in Chicago
C C D D G6 G6 G6 G6
We were riding 'round and talking 'bout things you said I oughta know
C C D D G6 G6 G6 G6
And you told me how our life would be, and I'm learning that it's so
C C D D G6 G6 - G6/F#
And I was hoping you could call me up at a long time ago
Em Em D D C C G G - G/F#
And I think about that summer night when you said you'd always care
Em Em D D C C D
And I think about this lonely life when your words turn cold in the air

And now the winter's almost here

And you know that I would write a book, but the story's seldom told
C C D D G6 G6 G6 G6
Of a fool who'd go and walk the bridge back to a long time ago
C C D D G6 G6 G6 G6
So here I'm stuck in Santa Fe in a trailer by the road
C C D D G6 G6 G6 G6
With only dreams of yesterday and a long time ago
C C D [hold]
I have only dreams of yesterday and a long time ago
