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)

G                              Em
Hand out the window, floating on air,

Just a flick of the wrist and I’m waving you goodbye

Drive past the lifeguard stand, where I’d sit around

Waiting for you to remember

As I drive

Chorus

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

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
