Maura O'Connell - Long Ride Home
Capo 5
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
CLong black Limousine
Shiniest car I've ever seen
FThe back seat is nice and clean
CShe rides as quiet as a dream
[Verse 2]
GSomeone dug a hole six long Ffeet in the Cground
GI said goodbye to you and I Fthrew my roses Cdown
GAin't nothing left at all in the Fend of being Cproud
With me Friding in this car, and you Gflying through the clouds
[Chorus]
FI've had some time to think about Cyou
FAnd watch the sun set like a Cstone
FI've had some time to think aAmbout you
On the Glong ride Chome
[Verse 3]
One Cday I took your tiny hand
Put your finger in the wedding band
FYour daddy gave a piece of land
CWe laid ourselves the best of plans
[Verse 4]
GForty years go by with someone Flaying in your Cbed
GForty years of things you say you Fwish you'd never Csaid
GHow hard would it have been to say some Fkinder words inCstead
I Fwonder as I stare up at the Gsky turning red
[Chorus]
FI've had some time to think about Cyou
FAnd watch the sun set like a Cstone
FI've had some time to think aAmbout you
On the Glong ride Chome
[Bridge]
FHeadlights staring at the Cdriveway
FThe house is dark as it can Gbe
FI go inside and all is Amsilent
And it seems as Gempty as the inside of me
[Chorus]
FI've had some time to think about Cyou
FAnd watch the sun set like a Cstone
FI've had some time to think aAmbout you
On the Glong, on the Flong
On the Glong, on the Flong
On the Glong
On the Flong ride ChomeF  C  F  C
