C   D      A
Yeah, they came to take me away
G                   D                       A
Said I'd be sitting here for the rest of my life
C                  D                A
But I don't really care - I shot my wife
G         D               A
And brother, I can't even remember the reason why

A-G-D           A
Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad

Well I ain't had no love since I don't know when
A   G    D                         A
It sure makes a long time man feel bad


We was down in Jacksonville
A cold winter night
My baby and I, we began to fight
I heated up, and I grabbed my gun
I get so cold on those nights down south


She was laying in a pool right there on the kitchen floor
She looked up at me and began to smile
Her gasping words: "Baby, I love you"
Then she closed those baby blue eyes


(chorus, and variations)


Sometimes I hear you call my name in the dead of the night


I ain't had those arms around me
I ain't had those lips, those lips, around me


It sure makes a long time man feel bad
So bad
