Long Ride Home Chords by Patty Griffin

[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
Long black [G#] limousine, _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ shiniest car I've ever seen
_ _ _ [B] Backseat is nice and clean, _ _ [F#] she rides as quiet as a [G#] dream
_ [F#] _
_ [C#] Someone dug a hole six [F#] long feet in the ground
[C#] I said goodbye to you and [F#] I threw my roses down
[C#] Ain't nothing left at all, and [F#] the end of being proud
With me riding in this car and [D#] you flying through them clouds
[B] I've had some time to [F#] think about it
_ [B] _
And watch the sun sink [F#] like a stone _
_ I've had some time to [D#m] think about you
[C#] On the long [F#] ride home _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G#] _ _ [F#] _ One day I took your tiny hand
Put your finger in the wedding vat
_ _ _ [B] Daddy gave you a piece of land
_ [C#] We made ourselves the best of plans
_ [F#] _
_ [C#] Forty years go by with [F#] someone laying in your bed
[C#] Forty years of things you [F#] say you wish you'd never [C#] said
How hard would it have been to [B] say some kinder [F#] words instead
[B] I wonder as I stare [C#] at the sky a-turning [B] red
I've had some time to [F#] think about it _
And [B] watch the sun sink [F#] like a stone
_ I've had some time to [D#m] think about you
[C#] On the _ long [F#] ride home _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Headlights searching down the driveway
_ [B]
The house as dark [C#] as it can _ _ [F#] be
I go inside [D#m] and all is silent
And [C#] seems as empty [G#] as the inside of _ _ [B] me
I've had some time to [F#] think about it
_ And watch the sun sink like a stone
_ I've had some time to [D#m] think about you
[C#] On the long, [B] on the long
[C#] On the long, [B] on the long _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] Ride long _ _ _
