Intro
C G Am X2
C G Am
Babe it seems like so long
C G Am
Since you heard your favorite song
F F C G Am
playin downtown playing downtown
C G Am
Ya know it seems like a while
C G Am
Since the country's been in style
F F C G Am
Now im Downtown now im downtown
F G
Never really understood why im here in the city
C F
Your in the fields walking around
Dm G
Ive been seeing too much trouble here and I
C
Here for you
G Am
Ive been standing here for days
C G Am
Looking for some kind of change
F F C G C G
But Ive had no luck to speak of
Solo is Pedal steel but guitar plays same rhythm
C G Am
C G Am
F F
C G C G
C-strum once
Take a trip out of the heart
C G Am--strum these three once lightly
when the trains and troubles start
F F C G Am
If your downtown if your downtown
F G
Never really understood why Im here in the city
C F
Your in the fields walking around
Dm G
I've been seeing too much trouble here and Im
C
Here for you
Dm G
Ive been seeing too much trouble here and Im
C
Here for you
C G Am
Babe it seems like so long
C G Am
Babe it seems like so long
C G Am
Babe it seems like so long
C G Am F
Babe it seems like so long
F F C
So long so long
a few points of interest..the part of the song immediately before
and after the solo where the chords are played C G C G C
you will hear what sounds like a slide so I play it like this
-0-0-0-0--3-3-3-3-0-0-0-0--3-3-3-3-0-
-1-1-1-1s-3-3-3-3-1-1-1-1s-3-3-3-3-1-
-0-0-0-0--4-4-4-4-0-0-0-0--4-4-4-4-0-
-2-2-2-2s-5-5-5-5-2-2-2-2s-5-5-5-5-2-
-3-3-3-3s-5-5-5-5-3-3-3-3s-5-5-5-5-3-
-0-0-0-0--3-3-3-3-0-0-0-0--3-3-3-3-0-
So basically you slide the C position towards the
G barred Chord to get that slide sound..the fingering isnt
in the same form so youll have to change position fairly fast
Also..any point in the song where he goes from an F to a Dm
There are two notes you hit in between these chords
youll notice where on the song when you hear it..its around
the part where he sings "I've been"
-1-1-1-----1-1-1
-1-1-1-----3-3-3
-2-2-2-----2-2-2
-3-3-3-3-2-0-0-0
-3-3-3----------
-1-1-1----------
So that's basically it..pretty easy song but oh so good
