D                  Bm
Heard a bell being toll
D                    G
Before the break of day
                 D          G
I heard then my name being called
           A        D
Down that Long Highway

               D
You don't get long
               Bm
You don't get long
D              G
You don't get long to stay
           D                 G
Kissing me once and I'll be gone
           A        D
Down that Long Highway

Spirits call from way beyond
Lord I may not disobey
Spare a thought for the vagabond
Down that Long Highway
Down that Long Highway
Down that Long Highway
