-6 -6 -6 -7 6 -5 6
Long a-go and far a-way
6 6 -6 -5 -3* -5
I dreamed a dream one day
5 -5 5 -5 6 -6 -6* -7 7
And now that dream is here be-side me
7* 7* 7* 8 7 -6 7
Long the skies were o-ver-cast
7 7 -8 -6 6 7
But now the clouds have passed
6 -7 -7* 8
You’re here at last
-6 -6 -6 -7 6 -5 6
Chills run up and down my spine
6 6 -6 -5 -3* -5
A-lad-din’s lamp is mine
5 -5 5 -5 6 -6 -6* -7 7
The dream I dreamed was not de-nied me
8 8 8 -9* -7* -7 -9AC
Just one look and then I knew
-7* -7 7 -6 -6 -6 -7 6 7 -6
That all I longed for long a-go was you

7 7 7 -7 7 -8
Dreary days are over.

8 8 8 -8 8 -9
Life’s a four-leaf clover.

9 9 9 -9 9 -10 9 -9
Sessions of depression are through.

9 -9 8 8 8 -8
Ev-ry hope I longed for

7 7 7 -8 8
Long ago comes true.

Refrain:

7 7 7 8 -7 -6-7
Long ago and far away

-7 -7 7 -6 5 -6
I dreamed a dream one day,

6 -6 6 -6 -7 7 -8 8 -8
And now that dream is here beside me.

7 7 7 8 -7-6 -7
Long the stars were overcast

-7 -7 7 -6 5 -6
But now the clouds have passed.

You’re here at last.

7 7 7 8 -7 -6 -7
Chills run up and down my spine.

Look up and down that lone-some road,
8 8 -8 7-6 7 -8 7 -6
Hang down your head and cry — my Lord!
8 8 -8 7 -8 7 …(8-8)(grace notes)
Hang down your head and cry

They say all good friends must part sometimes
Why not you and I (my Lord)
Why not you and I

I wish to the Lord that I’ve never been born,
Or died when I was a baby, my Lord!
Or died when I was a baby

I would’ve not been here eating this cold cold bread
And supping this salty gravy, my Lord!
And supping this salty gravy

I wish to the Lord that I’ve never seen your face,
Heard your lying tongue, my Lord!
Heard your lying tongue

So look up and down that lonesome road,
All our friends have gone, my Lord!
And you and I must go

Look up and down that lonesome road,
Hang down your head and cry — my Lord!
Hang down your head and cry

6 -66-6 6 -6 6 7
I’m a lonesome polecat.

-6 7 -87-87-87 -66 -6 6 5
Lonesome sad and blue.

-4 5 -5 5 -5 6 -6 6 6 7
‘Cause I ain’t got no feminine polecat,

6 5 -4 4 5
Vowing to be true.

7-6 7 7 7 -6 -87 -66 -66 -66 -66 6 5
Ooo uh oo oo uh oo uh oo uh oo uh oo.

6 -6 7 6 6 5 -4 4 54
Can’t make no vows to a herd of cows.

7-6 7 7-6 -8 7 -66 -66 -66 -66 5
Ooo uh oo oo uh oo uh oo uh oo.

I’m a mean old hound dog,
Baying at the moon.
‘Cause I ain’t got no ladyfriend hound dog,
Here to hear my tune.
Ooo uh oo oo uh oo uh oo uh oo.
A man can’t sleep, when he sleeps with sheep.

I’m a little ole hoot owl,
Hooting in the trees.
Cause I ain’t got no lady friend owl fowl,
Here to shoot the breeze.
Ooo uh oo oo uh oo uh oo uh oo.
Can’t shoot the breeze with a bunch of trees.

This should be a fair improvement over the other tab. I’ve broken the song into 25 parts for easy digestion but some parts lead on from one another so I strongly recommend listening to the track while practicing. There are occasional time stamps to help you find the place in the song.
Backslashes can’t be used in tabs. I’ve swapped the backslash for a >, imagine it’s chopped in half in the middle. Hopefully that’s not too confusing.

Tab symbols guide:

In one room deep gloom
-7* -8 -7* -7 -7* 8* -7* 7* -7*
Shel-ter-ing her from joys she once knew
7* 7* -6* 7* -7* -6* -5*
There sits a lone-ly wom-an
-6* -6 -6* -6 -5* -3* -6
Be-liev-ing her life is through
5* -5 8* -8 8* -7* -3*
Though she once lived for laugh-ter
-7* -7* -7* -7*
Days bring no spring
-7* -8 -7* -7 -7* 8* -7* 7* -7*
Win-ter is here to stay for a while
7* 7* -6* 7* -7* -6* -5*
Too drained of tears for cry-ing
-6* -6 -5* 5* -3* -6
She’s too a-lone to smile
8* -7* -7* -6* -6* -5
Long-ing for her lov-er
-10 9* 9* -7* -7* -6*
Wish that I could tell her
-9* -8 7* 6 -5*
Griev-ing too can pass
5* 5 5* -6* 5* -5 8*
And so this mood soon will lift
-8 8* -7* 7* -7* -7* -7* -7*
Like a veil then some day she’ll stray
-7* -8 -7* -7 -7* 8* -7* 7* -7*
Far from the som-ber world of the past
7* 7* -6* 7* -7* -6* -5*
No more a lone-ly wom-an
-6* -6 -6* -5* 5* -3* -6
She’ll fol-low the sun at last
