Great song. Wasn’t sure how accurate some of the other tabs were so I tried figuring it
for myself. It might not be perfect but I think it’s pretty accurate. Any comments let
know
Tuning: ½ step down (so you can play along with the cd)

Moderately.
Intro – G (1 bar) Em (1/2 bar) D(1/2 bar) x 2
(repeat strumming pattern for 1st verse)
G Em
Hand out the window, floating on air,
D G Em D
Just a flick of the wrist and I’m waving you goodbye
G Em
Drive past the lifeguard stand, where I’d sit around
D G Em
Waiting for you to remember
D C
As I drive
Chorus
G Cadd9 D
How the girls can turn to ghosts before your eyes
Em D
And the very dreams that led to them
Bb C
Are keeping them from dying
G Cadd9 D
How the grace with which she walked into your life
Em D
Will stay with you in your steps
Bb C
And pace with you awhile
Bb C G Em D
For so long...so long So long...So
G Em D x2
long
Repeat chords for second verse.
Verse 2
The speaker in this door is blown
So nothing sounds quite right
(taking my time, taking this job
waving this town goodbye)*
I drive this ocean road, and remember
(The smell of your back,
the nape of your neck I remember everything)
As I drive (waving this town goodbye)
Chorus
Play the last part twice.
G Em D
...so long so long.
G Em D
(taking my time, taking this job, waving this town goodbye)
Da da da Da da da daa (continue playing same chords)
Bridge
C
And I will leave under the cover, summer’s kiss upon the sky
C
Like the stone face of your lover, just before she says goodbye
C
And I was certain that the season, could be held between my arms
C
Just as summer’s hold is fleeting
G Em D
I was here but now I’m gone I'm
G Em D
Gone So long, So Long. Repeat
Da da da da da daa. Repeat
End on G
(you might want to play along with the cd to get the timing right)
Cheers dudes.
