If the chords are too awkward, I'd suggest downtuning and transposing the tab +1 to play it in G major.
Since Bill doesn't usually use guitar in his songs, I tried my best to get the implied chords.
For the transition from A#7 to D#m in the chorus, you get can away with just playing the open D string
between the chords. I like playing it like this:
e|-1-------6-|
B|-3-------7-|
G|-1-------8-|
D|-3---0---8-|
A|-1-------6-|
E|-x-------x-|
[Intro]
F# B C# F#
[Verse 1]
F# B C# F#
I remember the moment that my dreams were broken
F# B C# F#
F# B C# F#
I wrote them down on a post card and then threw it away
F# B C# F#
F# B C# F#
I slipped into some trousers and rolled out my window
F# B C# F#
F# B C# F#
Then went out into the wilderness where I'm going to stay
F# B C#
[Chorus]
B F# C#
And it's a long, long, long journey that we've been on
B F# C#
And it's a long, long, long story that can be told
B A#7 A#7/D D#m
And it's a long, long day and we've come a long, long way
G#7 B/C# F#
And it's a long, long, long way back
N.C. F#
[Verse 2]
F# B C# F#
I'm looking around this museum for paintings I relate to
F# B C# F#
F# B C# F#
Even though most of them were painted by somebody else
F# B C# F#
F# Badd9 C# F#
Then we went to the movies and watched lots of films there, yeah
F# B C# F#
F# Badd9* C# F#
Now I'm going down to Hollywood to make them myself
F# B C#
[Chorus]
B F# C#
And it's a long, long, long journey that we've been on
B F# C#
And it's a long, long, long story that will be told
B A#7 A#7/D D#7
And it's a long, long day and we've come a long, long way
G#7 B/C# F#
And it's a long, long, long way back
F#add9 B F# C#
And it's a big, big vehicle that we're driving in
B F# C#
And I've been following this roadway since it began
B A#7 D#m
And if I came here to lose then I still might win
G#7 B/C# F#
When I go down that road again
[Bridge]
Bm F#m D E F#m
And the road doesn't end
F#m D E F#m D E F#m
It's a long, long road and we follow it again and again
F#m D E
And the road don't pretend
D/E
(hiye)
[Verse 3]
F# B C# F#
I went down to the Coast Guard to see what they're guarding
F# Badd9 C# F#
F# B C# F#
"See what the sign says, you idiot, we're guarding the coast"
F# B C# F#
F# B C# F#
Now I'm going on a podcast to talk about my memories
F# B C# F#
F# B C# F#
Even though I can't remember anything from before the show
(Bassline descends through F#6 chord)
[Pre-Chorus]
B F# C#
I've made some long, long phone calls to my friends at home
B F# C#
And I told them where I've been and the places I'm going
B G# A#m
And they said, "Wow, that's incredible, but we already know
G#7 B/C# F#
Because of that long, long song you wrote"
[Chorus]
B F# C#
About how it's a long, long, long journey that we've been on
B F# C#
And it's a long, long, long story that shall be told
B A#7 A#7/D D#m
And it's a long, long day and we've come a long, long way
[Outro]
G#7 B/C# D#m G#7
But there's still a long way to go-o-o-o
G#7 B C#
It's a long, long, long way
D#m G#7
It's a long, long, strong way
G#7 B/C#
It's a long, long, long way
F#
