Chords for Jerry Jeff Walker -- Long, Long Time (Live 1989)

[G] _ _ This song written by a friend of mine Gary B.
White.
We were in a band in 1968.
We lived in the Sheraton Cockroachville apartment in New York City together.
_ And as I was writing Mr.
Bojangles to get some money to get out of town,
Gary was across the way putting together a song called Long, Long Time
that Linda Ronstadt got him enough money to get out of town with.
_ I'd say cowboys would just run around with a guitar, getting stuck somewhere,
writing a song about wanting to be back, whether they get enough money,
and then they get some money and they go get stuck somewhere else again.
_ _ Pretty soon they have a career.
_ _ _ _ That's [N] cowboy logic for you right there [G] folks. _ _ _ _
[C] So I, for years I've been going to play this song and now it's my turn.
_ [D] Long, _ [Em] long _ _
[C] time
[D] _ [G] Love _ _ _
[C] _ _ [D] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [D] _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [Bm] will [Em] unbind, _ [D] _
[C] _ [D] take things [G] in stride _ _
[C] _ _ [Em] That's what someone told me
[A] But there's no one at [D] my side
And [C] time [D] _ [Em] washes clean _ _
[C] _ [D] Love's wounds [G] unseen _ _ _
[C] _ [Em] Sounds like good advice _
[A] But I don't know [D] what it means _
[C] And I've done [G] everything I know
To [B] try and make you [Em] [D] mine
[C] _
[G] I think [D] it's gonna [Em] hurt [D] me
[C] _
[G] For a long, [D] long [G] time _ _
[C] _ _ [D] _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] Caught [D] in [Em] my fear
[D] Blinking [C] _ _ [D] back the [G] tear _ _ _
[C] _ [B] I can't say you [Em] hurt me _
[A] When you never let me [D] near
And [C] I [D] _ [Em] never drew
_ [D] _
[C] One [D] response from [G] you _ _
[C] All [B] the while you [Em] fell on
A [A] man you never [D] knew _ _
[C] _ I've done [G] everything I know
[B] To try and make you [Em] mine
[D] _ [C] _
[G] But I think [D] it's [Em] gonna [D] hurt me
[C] _
[G] For a long, [D] long [G] time _ _
[C] _ _ [D] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _
[C] So _ [D] wait for [Em] the day _
[C] You _ [D] go [G] away
And _
[C] _ _ [B] [Em] that you won't be
The [A] price I'd have [D] to pay _
[C] And I'm [D] _ [Em] full of flaws
[D] _
[C] _ [D] Who knows [G] the cause _
[C] Living _ [B] _ [Em] in a memory
I've [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ done [G] everything I know _
[D] [B] To try and change [Em] your [D] mind
[C] But [G] I think [D] _ [Em] it's gonna hurt me
[D] _ [C]
[G] For a long, [D] [G] long time _ _
[C] I've done _ [G] everything I know
[B] To try and [Em] make you [D] [C] mine
And [G] I think [D] _ I'm [Em] gonna love [D] you
[C] _
[G] For a long, [D] long [G] time _
_ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [D] That's _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ [G] how that song [C#] would sound
