Can't Be Too Long chords
Grand Funk Railroad *

E MajorE G+G A augmentedA 2x

E MajorE    C majorC
Ah, Ah, Ahhhhh... 2x

E MajorE
The heat of a summer day
G+G
Poundin' down on my back
A augmentedA
Work like a dog in the sunlight
E MajorE
Tryin' to pay the people back

      G+G     A augmentedA
I killed a man in the spring time
      E MajorE      G+G   A augmentedA
Had to work hard just to make a dime
     G+G    A augmentedA        E MajorE
To buy my baby the things that she needs
            G+G
I guess I didn't think twice
         E MajorE    G+G
And now I have to pay the price
       A augmentedA    G+G   E MajorE
For killing a man of another creed

E MajorE    C majorC
Ah, Ah, Ahhhhh... 2x

E MajorE      B minorBm     F# minorF#m  B minorBm
I guess I'll have to be strong
        F# minorF#m      D MajorD   E MajorE
The rest of my life can't be too long
      G+G    A augmentedA
I know I'll die some day
       E MajorE  G+G
And be going far away
       A augmentedA               E MajorE
And you won't remember the things that I've done

E MajorE
I feel a shedding tear
G+G
It's only been a year
A augmentedA         G+G           E MajorE
But I know I'll be dead when that evening comes

E MajorE    C majorC
Ah, Ah, Ahhhhh... 2x

E MajorE      B minorBm     F# minorF#m  B minorBm
I guess I'll have to be strong
        F# minorF#m      D MajorD   E MajorE
The rest of my life can't be too long
E MajorE    C majorC
Ah, Ah, Ahhhhh... 2x  E MajorE G+G A augmentedA 4x
