THE OLD GANG'S GONE
As recorded by Bobby Bare
(From the 1967 Album A BIRD CALLED YESTERDAY)
Capo 3rd fret
[Chorus]
D G A D
The old gang's gone I'm the only one that's left
G A7 D
And I guess that it's about time I moved on out myself
[Verse 1]
D G Em A7
Cause there ain't no use in hangin' round a town that's grown so cold
D G Em A7
With its used-to-be's and memories it makes a man feel old
D G D G
My friends have wed and some are dead and some are far away
D A7 D G A
From the part of town we ran around and the fun of yesterday
[Chorus]
D G A D
The old gang's gone I'm the only one that's left
G A7 D
And I guess that it's about time I moved on out myself
[Verse 2]
D G Em A7
Johnny Green's in Jacksonville he's a doctor now you know
D G Em A
And Shaky Sam's in Vietnam he volunteered to go
D G D G
Cindy lives in Tennessee and Mary moved to Maine
D A7 D G A
Oh I don't guess I'll ever see the likes of them again
[Chorus]
D G A7 D
The old gang's gone I'm the only one that's left
G A7 D G A
And I guess that it's about time I moved on out myself
D G A7 D
The old gang's gone I'm the only one that's left
G A7 D
And I guess that it's about time I moved on out myself
