Standard (EADGBE)

Chorus

So long, baby since you've been gone

I'm a dyin' man, I'm a dyin' man

Verse 1

Don't ever tell a dyin' man

 You never meant to shoot him down

Yeah, don't do no good to tell a dyin' man

You never meant to shoot him down

 Now, all my friends and relatives, they've been tellin' me

Don't come around, don't come around,

 Don't come around no more

Each of the repeated riffs above correspond

to the three beats of the "don't come around" lyrics.

Verse 2

Ever since the day you left this Earth

Can't keep a job, can't keep a job

Yeah, ever since the day you left this Earth

Can't keep a job, can't keep a job

A lot of people down at the agency been tellin' me

Don't come around, don't come around,

Don't come around no more

Chorus

So long, baby since you've been gone

I'm a dyin' man, I'm a dyin' man

So long, baby since you've been gone

 I'm a dyin' man, I'm a dyin' man
