Tabbed by: CJ5000

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)

Intro – G (1 bar) Em (1/2 bar) D(1/2

(repeat strumming pattern for 1st

G                              Em
Hand out the window, floating on 
air,
                    D            
Just a flick of the wrist and I’m 
       G       Em      D
waving you goodbye
G                             
Drive past the lifeguard stand, 
    Em
where I’d sit around
D                     G         Em
Waiting for you to remember
D     C
As I drive

Chorus

G                       Cadd9    
How the girls can turn to ghosts 
       D
before your eyes
          Em            D
And the very dreams that led to them
    Bb               C
Are keeping them from dying
G                          Cadd9 
How the grace with which she 
                 D
walked into your life
      Em               D
Will stay with you in your steps
    Bb              C
And pace with you awhile
Bb        C           G         
For so long...so long           
Em     D
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
...so long so long.
      D


G                                 
(taking my time, taking this job, 
      Em         D
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  
I was here but now I’m gone        
             Em      D
                                I'm

G               Em      D
Gone            So long, So Long. 
Repeat
Da da da da da daa. Repeat
End on G
