Chorus:
G         C        D7            G
So long, so long, now I'm on my way.
          C        D7              G
So long, so long, see you all someday.

F                     D
Don't know where I'm headin for,
 C                Em
turn my back and walk away
        F                 D
Don't think about what's left behind,
C
Otherwise
C7               F
Think about the good times,
 C7              F
think about the people you love
C7               F           Em
Think about the sun that is gone,
          C9
and there aint no use me talkin bout the
F
things we used to do.

Chorus

If I fade from people's hearts
I'm glad I left them far behind
There's one thing that holds me still
I'm thinkin'
The memory of your kiss
The memory of your sweet caress
The memory of your love that is gone
And there ain't no use in me talking
'bout the things we used to do

Chorus:
So long, so long
Got no time for tears
So long, so long
Got music in my ears

Got no time for Muswelltown
Gonna look around now
My old town was good to me
But no
Guess I'll say so long now
Don't even say a word
I'll turn my back and walk away, but oh
The day that I've seen everything,
I promise to return

Chorus:
So long, so long
Now I'm on my way
So long, so long
See you all some day
So long, so long
Now I'm on my way
So long, so long
