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)

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

to this gray town

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

D  G
and if we

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
