Delbert and Glen- Been Around A Long Time Chords

Back in 71, 72, I think, _ a good friend of mine,
Glenn Clark, and I, we made two records together
under Delbert and Glenn.
_ _ And they were both world wonderful wide records
and nobody noticed.
_ _ So _ Glenn and I have just got done recording a new album together. _ _
And we're going to do a couple of songs of it for you.
This is Glenn Arlen Clark and this is Bob Putnam.
Thank you. _ _ _ _ _

I've been [G] around a [Am] long time.
_ [A] _
_ _ [A] Long enough to love. _
Ages just to [Eb] save [Bm] my mind. _
[E] _ _ _ [Am] Some things [D] just [Am] get better.
[A] _ _ [D] _ I've _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [E] _
been around [Am] a long time.
_ I love her.
I think I know.
[E] You come back for me.
[Am] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[A] _ So a lot of [Bm] heartless, [Am] mindless parties.
[D] _ [G] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] If [A] you don't do nothing, [G] you're going to live in regret.
[D] You won't have to live with what you can't get.
[Am] I know.
[A] _ [D] [E] But I've been [Am] around a long [A] time.
_ _ All right, now.
[D] Some [Am] people say you burn [D] out if you go too [A] [E] fast.
[A] _ _ _ _
But I just want [A] to live as long [E] as I can.
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _
[A] And there's a secret to [Am] life that I've ever [D] found.
It's all about staying in the here and now.
[A] I know.
_ [E] But I've been [Am] around.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [D] _
Keep your _ expectations [Am] under control.
_ [D] _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _
You just might surprise yourself [E] to see how far you go. _
[A] Don't hold too tight.
Let [Am] it all [D] unwind.
I keep my positive state of being [Am] idle.
_ _ [E] But I've been around [Am] a [A] long time. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ [E] _
_ _ [Bm] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [D] _ [E] But _ [Am] _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ [C] [Bm] I've been around.
Keep _ your _ [D] expectations under [Am] control.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[D] You just might surprise yourself [E] to see how far you go.
[Abm] [Ab] Don't hold too tight.
[Am] Don't hold too tight.
Let it all [A] unwind. _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] I know.
_ [Bm] [E] But I've been around.
[Am] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ I [Am] know.
_ [E] But [A] I've been around a long time.
[B] _ [A] _ _ [G] _ [E] _ [Am] _

_ _ [B] right.
Now look here.
