Long Year - Todd Snider
(intro) Harmonica tabbed for guitar
[D] [D/C#] [D/B] [A7] [D] [D/C#] [D/B]
(verse)
[D]I came in off a [D/C#]dead end street
[D/B]Walked in slow and t[A7]ook a back row seat
[D]I knew I had [D/C#]nothing new to[D/B] say[A7]
[D]So many people looking [D/C#]so burned out
[D/B]I couldn't help feeling[A] bad about just [G]having to be [A]there anyway
(verse)
A friend of a friend from work came in
I never have known what to make of him
He'd always seemed to be so insincere to me
You know I've always been afraid of a 12 step crowd
They laugh too much and talk too loud
Like they all know where everyone should be
(chorus)
[D] [D/C#] [D/B]
A lo[A]ng long y[G]ear
[D] [D/C#] [D/B]
A lo[A]ng long y[G]ear
How did [A]I get here
(verse)
They were talking in a circle I was by myself
Everyone was telling everyone how they felt
It felt like so long since I'd been young
As the circle kept moving its way to the back
I was wondering what I was going to say in fact
I still didn't know, as it rolled off my tongue
(chorus)
(harmonica solo) (Not positive of the last two measures. It definitely sounds lower.)
[D] [D/C#] [D/B] [A7] [G] [G/F#] [Em] [A7] [G] [G/F#] [Em] [A7]
(verse)
I didn't say a word all the way to my car
But a little later on that night at the bar
I was telling everyone how strange my day had been
They say brother all you need is another shot
So I threw one down and said thanks a lot
As I thought to myself, well here we go again
