SEEMS LIKE A LONG TIME
As recorded by Rod Stewart
(From the 1971 Album EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY)
[Intro]
C   Bb  F  G
C   Bb  F  G
[Verse 1]
C            Am   G
Nighttime is only the other side of daytime
       F                          C   G
But if you've ever waited for the sun
Am                         G                  F
You know what it's like to wish daytime would come
[Chorus]
F            C
And don't it seem like a long time
G                      F           G          C
Seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
[Verse 2]
C                   G
Hard times are only the other side of good times
F                      G               C    G
But if you ever wished hard times were gone
Am                         G                     F
You know what it's like to wish good times would come
[Chorus]
F            C
And don't it seem like a long time
G                      F           G          C
Seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
F        C
Help me, seems like a long time
G                       F            G          C
Seems like a long time, seems like a long, long time
[Guitar Solo]
F  G  C  Am  G
F  G  C  Am  G  F
[Chorus]
F            C
And don't it seem like a long time
G                      F           G          C
Seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
C
And don't it seem like a long time
G                      F           G          C
Seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
F            C
And don't it seems like a long time
G                       F            G          C
Seems like a long time, seems like a long, long time
C
You know it makes me sad
C                       G
Seems like a long time, seems like a long time
F            G          C
Seems like a long, long time
F           G          C
Yes, it is, long, long time
F           G          C
Yes, it is, long, long time
[Verse 3]
C          Am   G
Wartime is only the other side of peace time
    F                                C   G
But if you've ever seen how wars are won
Am                         G                    F
You know what it's like to wish peacetime would come
[Outro]
F            C
And don't it seem like a long time
G                      F            G          C
Seem like a long time, seems like a long, long time
