Since the cd version doesn't have any rythmguitar Long distance call
needs to be played like on the bbc2 radioprogram. If you are unable to
get that version try to play these chords with the cd.
Sounds pretty funky!
from bbc2 radioprogram: capotasto on third fret
from cd: capotasto on fifth fret
Live gig capotasto on fifth fret
What is a capotasto?
A augmentedA capo (aka "capotasto") is a mechanical device that
clamps across the guitarneck holding all the strings down at one fret.
It enables you to play in different keys.

the intro chords are easiest played

Lyrics:
Where to go I had no idea
26.10 was the price to pay
A augmentedA messed up kid with no ideals at all
I thought those 26.10 I shouldn't give'em away
I remember this young guy died and I took his part
He got far too many stitches on his pretty face Long time to see
but I always thought us two would be serious I was looking around town
thinking the same as you
I'm far gone but your long distance call
And your capital letters keep me asking for more
It's never been like that
It's never been like that
I'm far gone but your long distance call
And your capital letters keep me asking for more
Where to go I had no idea about it
Most of the people do, there're only doing just fine
I don't wanna stay in place no more
see Ain't doing well well well, I am only doing just fine
long time no see, long time no say
Got little to tell, I don't say much but I might
Something always told me us two would be serious
I am looking around town, thinking the same as you
I'm far gone but your long distance call
And your capital letters keep me asking for more
It's never been like that
It's never been like that
I'm far gone but your long distance call
And your capital letters keep me asking for more
Long time no see... Long time no say...
