        C                        Am
Hello friend, where you been so long?
G     F                         C
Time goes by, it all seems to slip away
             Dm   G                   C
Just like a shadow at the end of the day

Hello friend, how are things for you these days?
Some guy from way-back-when, he mentioned your name
Did he ever get back to you?
Ah, you know I told him to

Am           G           F              Em7
Sometimes I turn and I swear I hear you call
    Dm7      C             Dm            G
And I often wonder how we lost what we knew
          Am          G             F          C
Seems it gone in the wind, washed away in the rain
        Dm7       F       C
And the years go by and by

The bridges you burned, long sinced turned
into ashes
When there were no reasons, now the river runs dry
Seems it gone in the wind, washed away in the rain
And the years go by and by
Where you been so long

Where you been so long
So long
Where you been  So long
So long
