So Long chords by Rilo Kiley

SO LONG
by rilo kiley
from their album 'the execution of all things'

tabbed by drew (iamdrew@gmail.com)

this is such an adorable song.  i wish he'd sing more on this album.

i spent so long thinking there was a chord in between Em and G for the chorus "lo~ng"s.  but there's not.

it's nice to add a F#/G in there if you're playing acoustic, but i promise it's not in the bass track

anyways, hope you enjoy.

(capo 5, key of F)

verse:
------

Cmaj7        G6(*)
watch me fly away
Cmaj7                 G6(*)
through the night sky yeah
         Am
now that all you touched
    D                 Cmaj7   G6(*)
has finally turned to gray

     Cmaj7              G6(*)
and roads can't hold us down
Cmaj7              G6(*)
winds will move us around
     Am           D
with no need to return
             Cmaj7  G6(*)
to this gray town


chorus:
-------

Em            Am
want to bet?  i can tell
Cmaj7          D           Em G
you've been in bed for too lo~ng
   Cmaj7      D      G(*)
so let's just say so long



verse:
------

      Cmaj7              G6(*)
and i watched you at the cove
    Cmaj7           G6(*)
you read on rocks below
    Am
and i turned home
    D                Cmaj7  G6(*)
without so much as a hello


chorus:
-------

Em           Am
want to know where i go
Cmaj7      D           Em G
i've been away for too lo~ng
         Cmaj7   D
and it's hard to leave
     G F#/G    Em7
when i haven't seen
Cmaj7  D  G6(*)
you in so long


bridge:
-------

D   G
and if we
    Em        F#/G      Cmaj7
had just held out for tomorrow
   D          G
we might have seen
     Em        F#/G  Cmaj7
what seemed so far   away
   Em          F#/G      Cmaj7  /  /  /  /  (etc, then) -> Cmaj7 (hold)
we didn't even bother to stay

Em            Am
there it goes i can tell
Cmaj7           D
you're going to keep
     Em          G
your eyes to the ground
Cmaj7       D
waiting for something
   G       F#/G Em
to finally come around
