Long Time Down

A                     Bm        E                    A
You know it's been a long time since we were shaken down
A                    Bm            E                 A
We worked out of a slaughterhouse on the outskirts of town
A                    Bm                 E                 A
You caught it and it was poison to you while it was meat to me
A                    Bm            E                 A
We rested on the doubtful side they don't know what it means to see
A                    Bm       E            A
And now it's time to move on, onto solid ground
A                        Bm            E                 A
I'd like you to come and walk with me where we can lay us down
              Ama7        Bm
You know I've waited so long
E                      A
Honey where do we go now?
                Amaj7    Bm
You know I've waited so long
E                         A
Ah honey where do we go now?
A                    Bm           E                 A
You know it's been a long time we've been waiting to go
A                    Bm            E                      A
Sitting patiently exploding the torture as the slow fuse blows
A                    Bm            E                       A
The mystery of your fading smile has helped me through the years
A                    Bm            E                 A
Now and then I only see your eyes as the station nears
              Ama7        Bm
You know I've waited so long
E                      A
Honey where do we go now?
                Amaj7    Bm
You know I've waited so long
E                         A
Ah honey where do we go now?
A                    Bm            E                       A
We caught us a blue train what other way is there to ride?
A                    Bm   E                       A
I’ve never found another just too torn away inside
A                       Bm            E                       A
There shines the moon with a message bidding all hands to heed the call
A                    Bm            E                       A
Now I know I'm no prospector 'cos I've got no prospects at all
A                    Bm                    E                       A
Stolen hearts beneath the floorboards the thunder of the condemned
A                          Bm     E                A
I see your address has been taken off at the very end
A                             Bm            E                  A
The weird things is I've been running on an empty tankard of tears
A                            Bm            E                   A
With only the memory of your sweet mist to blow away all my fears

              Ama7        Bm
You know I've waited so long
E                      A
Honey where do we go now?
                Amaj7    Bm
You know I've waited so long
E                         A
Ah honey where do we go now?
A                    Bm       E             A
It's been a long time coming, a long time down
A                    Bm        E                  A
It's been a long time coming, the snow is on the ground.
