Standard Tuning

Intro – A repeated

Are you sorry when the lights begin to fade
Are you sorry for the promises you made
For the burden of the ones who had to fall
When you didn’t read the writing on the wall

It was forty years ago and I was young
And the jungle not the desert heard the guns
Someone said they had a secret plan
And the rest of us were told to understand

Chorus

Well I don’t want this, no I don’t want this
I have had enough no more

Strings Bridge

Tomorrow is the price for yesterday
A billion waves won’t wash the truth away
Someday you’ll be ordered to explain
No one gets to walk between the rain

Chorus

And I don’t want this, no I don’t want this
I have had enough no more
No I don’t want this, no I don’t want this
I have had enough no more
No more

(Capo 1)

[C-Em-Am-Em]The silent fall of evening snow
[C-Em-Am-Em]Another thing you can’t control
[C-Em-Am-C-D-D]Does it chill or warm you soul tonight
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bob_seger/the_long_goodbye_crd.html )
[C-Em-Am-Em]You’ve become a mystery
[C-Em-Am-Em]Will I earn your honesty
[C-Em-Am-C]I’ll never know if we agree
[D-D-C-C]If you’re not here
( Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/bob_seger/the_long_goodbye.html )
[F-C-Am]And we travel separate roads
[F-C-Am]And we carry different loads
[F-C-Am-C]And in the end we stay or go

[C-Em-Am-Em]The long goodbye continues on
[C-Em-Am-Em]Through fog and rain and far beyond

C-Em-Am-Em-C-D-D

You stay awhile and then you’re gone again

[C-Em-Am-Em]I look into your restless eyes
[C-Em-Am-Em]You turn away it’s no surprise

C-Em-Am-Em-C-D-D

I wonder if it’s even wise but I’m still here

Last night I saw you walking
Past my bed late at night
And the moon shone Through your gown[D/F#]
Such a fine m[D/F#]emory
I t[D/F#]hink I’m gonna take it with me

And later as you were sleeping
Sleeping close to me
I felt your hair on my [D/F#]skin
Such a fine [D/F#]memory
I k[D/F#]now I’m gonna take it with me

I’m going to take it
Far as I go
I’m going to take it far as I go[D/F#]

And later as I was driving
The sky was getting light
And the sun came through the t[D/F#]rees
I had a fine [D/F#]memory
Such a fine [D/F#]memory
