Intro Bb majorBb and Bb9Bb9

Bb majorBb       Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb           Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb
Out where the creek turns shallow and sandy
Bb majorBb         Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb        Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb
And the moon comes skimmin' away the stars
Bb majorBb            Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb          Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb
The wind in the mesquite comes rushin' over the hilltops
Bb majorBb        Eb MajorEb
Straight into my arms
          Bb majorBb Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb
Straight into my arms
Bb majorBb       Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb        Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb
I'm riding hard carryin' a catch of roses
Bb majorBb   Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb     Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb
And a fresh map that I made
Bb majorBb      Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb        Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb
Tonight I'm gonna get birth naked and bury my old soul
Bb majorBb          Eb MajorEb
And dance on its grave
          Bb majorBb Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb
And dance on its grave
       FF    Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb
It's been a long time comin', my dear
       FF    Bb majorBb         Eb MajorEb
It's been a long time comin' but now it's here
     Bb majorBb
now it's here

Bb majorBb       Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb      Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb
Well my daddy he was just a stranger
Bb majorBb    Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb    Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb
Lived in a hotel downtown
Bb majorBb       Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb        Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb
When I was a kid he was just somebody
Bb majorBb          Eb MajorEb
Somebody I'd see around
           Bb majorBb Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb
Somebody I'd see around

Bb majorBb       Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb      Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb
Now down below and pullin' on my shirt
Bb majorBb   Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb     Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb
I got some kids of my own
Bb majorBb         Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb        Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb
Well if I had one wish in this god forsaken world, kids
Bb majorBb                  Eb MajorEb
It'd be that your mistakes would be your own
               Bb majorBb  Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb
Yea your sins would be your own
       FF     Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb
It's been a long time comin', my dear
       FF     Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb
It's been a long time comin' but now it's here
     Bb majorBb
now it's here

Bb majorBb     Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb      Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb
Out 'neath the arms of Cassiopeia
Bb majorBb       Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb        Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb
Where the sword of Orion sweeps
Bb majorBb       Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb        Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb
It's me and you, Rosie, cracklin' like crossed wires
Bb majorBb             Eb MajorEb
And you breathin' in your sleep
           Bb majorBb Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb
You breathin' in your sleep

Bb majorBb       Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb        Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb
Well there's just a spark of campfire burning
Bb majorBb     Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb       Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb
Two kids in a sleeping bag beside
Bb majorBb       Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb        Bb9Bb9 Bb majorBb
I Reach 'neath your shirt, lay my hands across your belly

Bb majorBb              Eb MajorEb
And feel another one kickin' inside
               Bb majorBb
I ain't gonna fuck it up this time

      FF     Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb
It's been a long time comin', my dear
      FF     Bb majorBb        Eb MajorEb
It's been a long time comin' but now it's here
      FF     Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb
It's been a long time comin', my dear
      FF     Bb majorBb        Eb MajorEb
It's been a long time comin' but now it's here
