NOTE: Capo on 1st fret!


Intro: A Asus2 A Asus2

A                                     Asus2
Out where the creek turns shallow and sandy
        A                            Asus2
And the moon comes skinnin' away the stars
    A                                               Asus2
The wind in the mesquite comes rushin' over the hilltops
A                Asus2
Straight into my arms
A                Asus2
Straight into my arms

    A                               Asus2
I'm riding hard carryin' a catch of roses
    A                Asus2
And fresh map that I made
                 A                                Asus2
Tonight I'm gonna get birth naked and bury my old soul
A                Asus2
And dance on its grave
A                Asus2
And dance on its grave

            E         A          D
It's been a long time comin', my dear
            E         A                    D
It's been a long time comin', but now it's here, yeah my dear

A Asus2

         A                   Asus2
Well, my daddy he was just a stranger
A                    Asus2
Lived in a hotel downtown
     A                           Asus
When I was a kid he was just somebody
A                Asus2
Somebody I'd see around
A                Asus2
Somebody I'd see around

    A                            Asus2
Now down below and pullin' on my shirt
  A                   Asus2
I got some kids of my own
     A                                      Asus2
Well if I had one wish in this god forsaken world, kids
A                                        Asus2
It'd be that your mistakes would be your own
          A                  Asus2
Yea, your sins would be your own

            E         A          D
It's been a long time comin', my dear
            E         A                    D
It's been a long time comin', but now it's here, yeah my dear

     A                       Asus2
Out 'neath the arms of Cassiopeia
          A              Asus2
Where the sword of Orion sweeps
     A                                        Asus2
It's me and you, Rosie, cacklin' like crossed wires
A                         Asus2
And you breathin' in your sleep
A                     Asus2
You breathin' in your sleep

                    A                    Asus2
Well there's just a spark of campfire burning
    A                        Asus2
Two kids in a sleeping bag beside
  A                                                 Asus2
I reach 'neath your shirt, lay my hands across your belly
A                              Asus2
And feel another one kickin' inside
A                             Asus2
I ain't gonna fuck it up this time

            E         A          D
It's been a long time comin', my dear
            E         A                    D
It's been a long time comin', but now it's here
            E         A          D
It's been a long time comin', my dear
            E         A                    D
It's been a long time comin', but now it's here
