I've Been Away Too Long

One of my favorite songs these days!

Lyrics:

How can I say to you.
I love somebody new.
You were so good to me always.
And when I see your eyes.
I can't go on with lie.
It breaks your heart,
but I just can't hide it.
Oh, no...

I, I've been away too long.
Now I just can't go on.
I've been away too long.
I, I've been away too long.
No, I can't be so strong.
I've been away too long.

Don't look that way to me.
It hurts you, so I see.
But I just can't go on with lie.
I gave you all I had.
So there is nothing left.
I may be wrong,
but I better go now.
Oh, no...

I, I've been away too long.
Now I just can't go on.
I've been away too...
I, I've been away too long.
No, I can't be so strong.
I've been away too...

La, La, La, La, La, La, La.
La, La, La, La, La, La.
I've been away too long.

I like this song of George Baker so much and tried to play it by ear.

I´m not a guitarplayer so i can`t see the chords you`re using.

Intro c-em-dm-g-c, hope i`m right, and than? please tell me the rest. Is it changing the key after intro?

Thank you, and sorry for bad english

chorus: C-Em-F-C-A7-F-Fm-C

Very nice edition of the George Baker Selection song from back in 1975. The way you made the song got it to sound like a song from the 60's. I can see the movie "Heartbeat" in my head when I hear your way to sing and play the song.

So 5 BIG stars from Denmark!

Beautiful song. First time I've ever heard it.
