Song: Long Time Commin
By:   John Hiatt

[intro:]     |E   |Esus4 |E   |Esus4 |
 
[verse: 1]
|E                           |Esus4      |
  Friend of mine said a long time comin'
|A                     |E     |Esus4   |
  Been a long time gone
|E                                  |Esus4    |
  Stood right here, whispered in my ear
|A                       |E     |Esus4   
  All the love gone wrong
            |B7                  |B7          
  I've been living my life like a howlin'
            |A                |A       |
 Wind and I can't put out this flame
|E                           |Esus4      |
  Friend of mine said a long time comin'
|A                |E   |Esus4  |
 Comin' back again

[verse: 2]
|E                              |Esus4    |
  All this time the wheels been turnin'
|A                    |E   |Esus4   |
  Turnin' like a screw
|E                   |Esus4          | 
  Down some roads of silver and gold
|A                      |E   |Esus4  
  But I could never find you
       |B7                   |B7              |
  Been liven' my life like a lonesome whistle
|A                       |A      |
Blown', now I can't turn back
|E                           |Esus4         |        
  Friend of mine said a long time comin'
|A                     |E    |Esus4   |
  Comin' down the track

[solo: guitar]
|E      |Esus4   |
|A      |E       |Esus4   |
|E      |Esus4   |
|A      |E       |
|B7     |B7      |
|A      |A       |
|E      |Esus4   |
|A      |E       |

|B7                      |B7                         
  And if I told it true, all these memories of you
       |A                   |A       |
  Well that's why I play the game
|E                           |Esus4        |
  Friend of mine said a long time comin'
|A              |E   |Esus4   |E    |Esus4   |    
  Like it never came 

 
[verse: 3]
|E                            |Esus4          |       
  I've sang these songs a thou-sand times
|A                       |E   |Esus4  |
  Over since I was young
|E                                |Esus4                 |         
  It's a long time comin' and the drummer keeps drummin'
|A                      |E   |Esus4   
 Your work is never done
         |B7                   |B7           
 I still see you there in that silver blue air
      |A                 |A      |
And I never have moved on
|E                           |Esus4       |   
  Friend of mine said a long time comin'
|A                        |E   |Esus4   |
 I'm just a long time gone

[coda:]
|E                           |Esus4     
  Friend of mine said a long time comin'
|A                   |E   |Esus4   |E    |Esus4  | E   {finish}
 I'm a long time gone
