Song: Long long way
Artist: Smalltown Poets
1998 Forefront Records
Written by: Danny Stephens
Em C
This is the hard part
D Am Em C
Stopping to ask for directions
D Am Em C D
Sketching with these dirty colors just where I am
Em C
You might have heard me
D Am Em C
Artfully dodging the buzz-words
D Am Em
And scoffing at your insinuation
C D
Of just where I am
G C
Chorus: I'm a long long way
D G C
From where I left to begin this refrain
D G C
From where your mercy and grace remain
D Am
From where you sit is it true
C D
It's not that far to you
Em C
It happened slowly
D Am Em C
Feet falling hard on the pavement
D Am Em
Eyes reaching into the distance
C D
Towards empty sunsets
CHORUS
Am A2 Asus Am
Bridge: Didn't I need to break out, want to be king?
Am A2 Asus Am
Wouldn't I face the gallows if I return?
Am A2
Or is s man freely pardoned
Asus D
As I have heard
Em C
Precious Jesus
D Am Em
Where can I flee from your spirit?
C D
You know me too well
CHORUS
This is my first shot at tabbing a song, and I tried my best. The verses
and chorus are pretty accurate I think but I'm not so sure about the
bridge. That is the way I play it and it sounds okay. Smalltown Poets
use a mandolin and a violin in this song and it sounds great!
