The Long Goodbye

Intro: C 

                          F      C 
My soul went walkin' but I stayed here 
                               F        C 
Feel like I been workin' for a thousand years 
                               F       C 
Chippin' away at this chain of my own lies 
                        F       C 
Climbin' a wall a hundred miles high 
       G                           Bb 
Well I woke up this morning on the other side 
C                          F 
Yeah yeah this is the long goodbye 
G                     Bb           C   C F   C   C 
Hey yeah this is the long goodbye 

                         F        C 
Same old faces it's  the same old town 
                        F           C 
What once was laughs is draggin' me now 
                        F      C 
Waitin' on rain hangin' on for love 
                               F     C 
Words of forgiveness from some God above 
G                              Bb 
Ain't no words of mercy comin' from on high  
C                       F 
Yeah yeah just one long goodbye 
G                     Bb           C   C F   C   F 
Hey yeah this is the long goodbye 


Well I went to leave twenty years ago 
      C                                       F 
Since then I guess I been packin' kind of slow 

Sure did like that admirin' touch 
 C       Bb         G         C     C   C F   C   C 
Guess I liked it a little too much 

                      F     C 
The moon is high and here I am 
                              F      C 
Sittin' here with this hammer in my hand 
                      F        C 
One more drink oughta ease the pain 
                      F          C 
Starin' at that last link in the chain 
           G                           Bb 
Well let's raise our glass and let the hammer fly 
C                             F

 G                    Bb
