 A           F#m
One of these days
 D
I'm going to sit down and write a long letter
A           F#m                D
To all the good friends I've known
A                F#m
And I'm going to try
D
To thank them all for the good times together
A          F#m          D
Though so apart we've grown

Chorus:
A
One of these days
Em
I'm going to sit down and write a long letter
D                             B
To all the good friends I've known
A             F#m
One of these days
A             F#m
One of these days
A             F#m
One of these days
        D
And it won't be long
    E     A
Won't be long

And I'm going to thank that old country fiddler
And all those rough boys who play that rock 'n' roll
I never tried to burn any bridges
Though I know I let some good things go

Chorus

From down in L.A. all the way to Nashville
From New York City to my Canadian prairie home
My friends are scattered like leaves from an
old maple
Some are weak, some are strong

Chorus:
One of these days, I'm going to sit down
and write a long letter
To all the good friends I've known
One of these days, one of these days
One of these days and it won't be long
(It won't be long)
It won't be long (It won't be long)

One of these days, one of these days
One of these days and it won't be long
(It won't be long)
It won't be long (It won't be long)
One of these days, one of these days
One of these days and it won't be long
(It won't be long)
(It won't be long)
