So, I actually started to learn this song from Rockcru's tab (great work, thanx a lot)
in the meantime I watched Bruce playing this song on the Devils + Dust DVD and I found
differencies I'd like to share with you. So this is how Bruce plays it on the video.
Listen to the song to get the correct rhythm.
Standard tuning with capo on third; standard chord names indicated
G Gadd9 C Dsus2 Em11

D---0-----0-----1-----3-----0----|
Bb--0-----2-----0-----2-----0----|
F---0-----0-----2-----0-----0----|
C---2-----x-----3-----x-----0----|
G---3-----3-----x-----x-----0----|
(Bruce does a very open strum (indicated now as Em11) during the chorus between two chords)
Intro: G and Gadd9
G Gadd9
Out where the creek turns shallow and sandy
G Gadd9
And the moon comes skimmin' away the stars
G Gadd9 G
The wind in mesquite comes rushin' over the hilltops
C G Gadd9 G Gadd9
Straight into my arms, straight into my arms
G Gadd9
I'm ridin' hard carryin' a catch of roses
G Gadd9
And a fresh map that I made
G Gadd9 G
Tonight I'm gonna get birth naked and bury my old soul
C G Gadd9
Gadd9
And dance on its grave, and dance on its grave
Dsus2 Em11 G C
It's been a long time comin' my dear
Dsus2 Em11 G C
It's been a long time comin' but now it's here
G Gadd9 G Gadd9
Yeah now it's here
G Gadd9
Well my daddy he was just a stranger
G Gadd9
Lived in a hotel downtown
G Gadd9
When I was a kid he was just somebody
G C G
Gadd9
Somebody I'd see around, somebody I'd see around
G Gadd9
Well now down below and pullin' on my shirts
G Gadd9
I've got some kids of my own
G Gadd9
If I had one wish in this godforsaken world, kids
G C
It'd be that your mistakes'd be your own
G Gadd9 G Gadd9
Yeah your sins'd be your own
Dsus2 Em11 G C
It's been a long time comin' my babe
Dsus2 Em11 G C
It's been a long time comin' but now it's here
G Gadd9 G Gadd9
Yeah now it's here
Bridge: G C G C G C
G Gadd9
Out 'neath the arms of Casseopeia
G Gadd9
Where the sword of Orion sweeps
G Gadd9
It's me 'n' you Rosie we're cracklin' like crossed wires
G C
And you're breathin' in your sleep
G Gadd9 G Gadd9
Yeah you're breathin' in your sleep
G Gadd9
There's just a spark of campfire left burnin'
G Gadd9
Two kids in sleeping bags beside
G Gadd9 G
I reach 'neath your shirt 'n' lay my hands 'cross your belly 'n' feel
C
Another kickin' inside
G Gadd9 G Gadd9
And I ain't gonna fuck it up this time
Dsus2 Em11 G C
It's been a long time comin' my dear
Dsus2 Em11 G C
It's been a long time comin' but now it's here
Dsus2 Em11 G C
It's been a long time comin' my babe
Dsus2 Em11 G C
It's been a long time comin' but now it's here
G Gadd9 G Gadd9 G
Yeah now it's here
