Merle Haggard - "Long Black Limousine" [Live from Austin, TX] chords
Start Jamming...
[A]
There's a long line of mourners [Em] [C#] [D] coming down [A] the street.
Their fancy cars are such a [E] sight to see.
[A] They're all [D]
[A] of your rich [G] friends [A] [D] that you knew [A] in your city.
Now they've [E] finally brought you [Bm] [A] back to me.
The [D] papers told of how you [A] lost your way.
All the party and the fatal [E] crash that night.
[B]
[E] [A] The race on [Em] the highway, [D] the curve
[A] nobody's seen.
Now you're riding [E] in that long [A] limousine.
[C] When you [A] left home, you told me that someday you'd be returning
[D] with
[A] a fancy car for the whole town to see.
[E]
[D] [E] [A] Well, everybody's watching now.
[D] I guess you could say that you finally got your [A] dream.
[D] You're [A] riding in [E] that long [E] [A]
limousine.
[D] Through tears I watched [A] as you ride.
Well, the chauffeur at the wheel dressed up [E] so [C#m] fine.
[E] Oh, [A] I'll never love another.
[Em] [D] My heart
[A] rides with you in [E] that long [A] limousine.
[D]
[A] Precious memories, [D] how [A] they linger.
How they flood [E] my soul.
[A] In the stillness [D] of [A] the [D] midnight, [A]
precious [E] sacred scenes [A] unfold.
[E] Precious sacred scenes [D] unfold.
[A]
[N]
