( for both bb’s , you can play either , but i’d play the 6 , 8 , 8 one in the harmonica solo
bit and the 1 , 3 , 3 one in the verses . )

intro ( listen to music for timing ) :

the last bar on the 6th time has a different timing to all
the other times , so watch out for that!
repeat 6 times .

strum every chord on every quaver beat ( one , and two , and three , and four and )

verse ( chord chart ) :

A G F
the telephone’s been ringin’ – ringin off the wall
A G F
it’s your las vegas lawyer – another long distance call
C A#
he says you get the house and the car
F G#
and i get the clothes i got on

chorus ( same as intro , but repeat 4 times ) :

now she’s gone
long , long , long , long gone
now i’m a happy boy
she’s long , long , long , long gone!

verse ( same ) :

A G F

A G F
sooner or later she’s gotta realize
C A#
that all my feelings were for real
F G#
but maybe she was leadin’ me on

long , long , long , long gone
now i’m a happy boy
she’s long , long , long , long gone!

solo ( intro ) :

harmonica solo :
G# | D# | A# | A# | x2
( G ) G# D#
she took the frigidaire she took my favourite chair
A#
you could say she got the best of me
G# D#
it’s like a legal crime but in a matter of time
A# ( B )
she’ll be back for the rest of me yeah

( the bracketed “g” is continuing from the chorus )
( the bracketed “b” i think is there , but i Am not sure . it works well to transition to the chorus )

outro/Chorus :
