Song: Long long way
Artist: Smalltown Poets
1998 Forefront Records
Written by: Danny Stephens
        

                     Em              C
        This is the hard part
             D      Am        Em         C
        Stopping to ask for directions
             D         Am         Em        C          D
        Sketching with these dirty colors just where I am

                         Em             C
        You might have heard me 
            D       Am           Em           C
        Artfully dodging the buzz-words
              D      Am              Em
        And scoffing at your insinuation
             C        D
         Of just where I am

                G           C
Chorus:         I'm a long long way
                        D           G               C
                From where I left to begin this refrain
                        D                  G       C
                From where your mercy and grace remain
                        D         Am
                From where you sit is it true
                     C        D
                It's not that far to you


                    Em          C
        It happened slowly
          D        Am           Em           C
        Feet falling hard on the pavement
             D         Am          Em
        Eyes reaching into the distance
            C            D
        Towards empty sunsets


        CHORUS


                      Am            A2       Asus       Am
Bridge:         Didn't I need to break out, want to be king?
                  Am                 A2    Asus  Am
                Wouldn't I face the gallows if I return?
                 Am                A2
                Or is s man freely pardoned
                 Asus        D
                As I have heard

                 Em       C
        Precious Jesus
          D         Am               Em
        Where can I flee from your spirit?
           C             D
        You know me too well


        CHORUS

 
This is my first shot at tabbing a song, and I tried my best. The verses
and chorus are pretty accurate I think but I'm not so sure about the
bridge.  That is the way I play it and it sounds okay.  Smalltown Poets
use a mandolin and a violin in this song and it sounds great!
