EmC
This is the hard part
DAmEmC
Stopping to ask for directions
DAmEmCD
Sketching with these dirty colors just where I am
EmC
You might have heard me
DAmEmC
Artfully dodging the buzz-words
DAmEm
And scoffing at your insinuation
CD
Of just where I am
GC
Chorus: I'm a long long way
DGC
From where I left to begin this refrain
DGC
From where your mercy and grace remain
DAm
From where you sit is it true
CD
It's not that far to you
EmC
It happened slowly
DAmEmC
Feet falling hard on the pavement
DAmEm
Eyes reaching into the distance
CD
Towards empty sunsets
CHORUS
AmA2AsusAm
Bridge: Didn't I need to break out, want to be king?
AmA2AsusAm
Wouldn't I face the gallows if I return?
AmA2
Or is s man freely pardoned
AsusD
As I have heard
EmC
Precious Jesus
DAmEm
Where can I flee from your spirit?
CD
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!
