Intro Bb and Bb9
Bb Bb9 Bb Bb9 Bb
Out where the creek turns shallow and sandy
Bb Bb9 Bb Bb9 Bb
And the moon comes skimmin' away the stars
Bb Bb9 Bb Bb9 Bb
The wind in the mesquite comes rushin' over the hilltops
Bb Eb
Straight into my arms
Bb Bb9 Bb
Straight into my arms
Bb Bb9 Bb Bb9 Bb
I'm riding hard carryin' a catch of roses
Bb Bb9 Bb Bb9 Bb
And a fresh map that I made
Bb Bb9 Bb Bb9 Bb
Tonight I'm gonna get birth naked and bury my old soul
Bb Eb
And dance on its grave
Bb Bb9 Bb
And dance on its grave
F Bb Eb
It's been a long time comin', my dear
F Bb Eb
It's been a long time comin' but now it's here
Bb
now it's here
Bb Bb9 Bb Bb9 Bb
Well my daddy he was just a stranger
Bb Bb9 Bb Bb9 Bb
Lived in a hotel downtown
Bb Bb9 Bb Bb9 Bb
When I was a kid he was just somebody
Bb Eb
Somebody I'd see around
Bb Bb9 Bb
Somebody I'd see around
Bb Bb9 Bb Bb9 Bb
Now down below and pullin' on my shirt
Bb Bb9 Bb Bb9 Bb
I got some kids of my own
Bb Bb9 Bb Bb9 Bb
Well if I had one wish in this god forsaken world, kids
Bb Eb
It'd be that your mistakes would be your own
Bb Bb9 Bb
Yea your sins would be your own
F Bb Eb
It's been a long time comin', my dear
F Bb Eb
It's been a long time comin' but now it's here

Bridge-Break
G# D# G# D# F
Bb Bb9 Bb Bb9 Bb
Out 'neath the arms of Cassiopeia
Bb Bb9 Bb Bb9 Bb
Where the sword of Orion sweeps
Bb Bb9 Bb Bb9 Bb
It's me and you, Rosie, cracklin' like crossed wires
Bb Eb
And you breathin' in your sleep
Bb Bb9 Bb
You breathin' in your sleep
Bb Bb9 Bb Bb9 Bb
Well there's just a spark of campfire burning
Bb Bb9 Bb Bb9 Bb
Two kids in a sleeping bag beside
Bb Bb9 Bb Bb9 Bb
I Reach 'neath your shirt, lay my hands across your belly
Bb Eb
And feel another one kickin' inside
Bb
I ain't gonna f**k it up this time
F Bb Eb
It's been a long time comin', my dear
F Bb Eb
It's been a long time comin' but now it's here
F Bb Eb
It's been a long time comin', my dear
F Bb Eb
It's been a long time comin' but now it's here
