The Everly Brothers 
Long Time Gone (1958)
(Frank Hartford / Tex Ritter)


I tabbed out two versions here:

1. Studio version from "Songs Our Daddy Taught Us"
2. Live version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbKeXEwsPjw)


---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Studio version from "Songs Our Daddy Taught Us"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

It’s difficult to hear the guitar(s ?) clearly. I finally came up with this 
here, which is at least close, playable and sounds good:

“RIFF”
capo 2nd fret
D 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
e|----5-2-----3-2-|----5-2-----3---|B|3-3-3-3---3-3-3-|3-3-3-3---3-3---|G|2-2-2---0-0-----|2-2-2---0-0-0---|D|0-------0-------|0-------0-------|A|-------h2-------|-------h2-------|E|----------------|----------------|
I use a regular D-shape and use the pinky to play the short note on the 5th fret, e-string (one gets used to it very quickly). This “RIFF” is played throughout the song with minor variations whenever there is a D chord. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- capo 2nd fret INTRO | D | % | % | % | VERSE 1
D DYou cheated me and made me lonely
D AI tried to be your very own
G C DThere'll be a day you'll want me only

G DBe a long time gone, be a long time gone
D A [break] DYes, when I lea-eave, I'll be a long time gone
VERSE 3
D DYou'll see my face through tears and sorrow
D AYou'll miss the love you called your own
G C DBaby, there'll be no tomorrow

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Live version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbKeXEwsPjw --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil plays regular chords here. The 2nd guitar (Don) uses a capo 2nd fret and plays a slim version of the “riff” from the studio version during intro and outro, the interludes and generally whenever there is an E in the verses. During the rest of the song Don just doubles Phil’s chords playing a different inversion. The C chord from the studio version is left out and some other changes are added. “RIFF” capo 2nd fret
D 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

These are the chords for the capoed guitar (see studio version above): E = D (play the “riff” above) B = A A = G --------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRO
