Capo 2nd fret
Intro
Pick out a D and hit low E on second and 
third frets (helps to catch it with the 
thumb)...pretty random pickin' on the intro, 
you can strum D if you want...didn't go that far into detail.
Verse 1: (During the verses, play a G power chord softly 
                or palm mute it)
Well I love her and she's leaving 
She met a man, plays in a band, last weekend 
And he lives out on the west coast 
She says she's gotta go 
Chorus:
But it's a lDong, long Gway from Myrtle BAeach to L.DA. 
DAnything could Gchange her mAind
DOne suGnset or Aone rBmegret
She could Gturn around, come back, and bAe mine
Happy eGndings happen aAll the tDime 
Verse 2: 
She's almost finished packing 
It's over 2,000 miles- a lot can happen 
There's gonna be days and days of long stretches 
Maybe she'll come back to her senses 
REPEAT CHORUS (except on this last line, go back to G power on "time")...
                    G           A   G(power)             
Happy endings happen all the time 
...and keep it going through this whole small 3rd verse.
Well I ain't waitin' on no phonecall 
I ain't gettin' my hopes up at all 
And I ain't settin' myself up for a fall 
REPEAT CHORUS (palm muted until "one sunset")
Then eGverything would be just fiAne
Happy Gendings happen aAll the tDime 
SOFTLY WITH G POWER AND FADE OUT WHEN "MYRTLE" STARTS:
Oooo yeah they do 
It's a long, long way from Myrtle Beach to L.A.
