[Verse]
C
Did you ever hear the story about Long John Dean?
G C
An bold bank robber, from Bowling Green;
C
They put him in the jail house the other day,
G C
And late that night he made his getaway.
[Chorus]
C
He's long gone, from Old Kentucky,
F C
Long gone, got away lucky;
C
He's long gone, that's what I mean,
G C
He's long gone, from Bowling Green.
[Verse]
C
They offered up-a reward to bring him back
G C
They even put the blood hounds on his track
C
But the doggone blood hounds lost his scent
G C
And nobody knows where Long John went
[Chorus]
C
He's long gone, from Old Kentucky,
F C
Long gone, got away lucky;
C
He's long gone, that's what I mean,
G C
He's long gone, from Bowling Green.
[Break - same as chorus]
[Verse]
C
Well I'll never forget till the day I die
G C
I played the game of love with a woman held high
C
It was a heads you win, and tails I lose
G C
Well she played the ace, and I had the deuce
[Chorus]
C
But I's long gone, from Old Kentucky,
F C
Long gone, got away lucky;
C
I's long gone, that's what I mean,
G C
Long gone, from Bowling Green.
C C
I's long gone, from Old Kentucky,
G C
Long gone, got away lucky;
C Am
I's long gone, that's what I mean,
G C
Long gone, from Bowling Green.
