Long Ride Home Tabs & Lyrics by Patty Griffin
Long Ride Home
guitar tabs lyrics
G
Long Black Limousine
G
Shiniest car I've ever seen
C
The back seat is nice and clean
G
She rides as quiet as a dream
D C G
Someone dug a hole six long feet in the ground
D C G
I said goodbye to you and I threw my roses down
G D C G
Ain't nothing left at all in the end of being proud
G C D
With me riding this car, and you flying through the clouds
---
C G
I've had some time to think about it
C G
And watch the sun sink like a stone
C Em
I've had some time to think about you
D G
On the long ride home
---
G
One day I took your tiny hand
G
Put your finger in the wedding band
C
Your daddy gave a piece of land
G
We laid ourselves the best of plans
D C G
Forty years go by with someone laying in your bed
D C G
Forty years of things you say you wish you'd never said
D C G
How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead
C D
I wonder as I stare up at the sky turning red
----
C G
I've had some time to think about it
C G
And watch the sun sink like a stone
C Em
I've had some time to think about you
D G
On the long ride home
---
C G
Headlights searching down the driveway
C D
The house is dark as it can be
C Em
I go inside and all is silent
D
And seems as empty as the inside of me
---
C G
I've had some time to think about it
C G
And watch the sun sink like a stone
C Em
I've had some time to think about you
D G
On the long ride home
---
C
On that long
D
On the long
C
On the lo--ng
D G
On the long ride home
