Long Year

tabbed by: Tyler smith 

these are the solo acoustic chords from his music with altitude performance. Im 
pretty sure all the chords are correct but I didn't know the names of all of 
them feel free to help out>. The biggest part of this song is the bass notes 
ill put them In ( ) when I give you the chord figures.  This is my first tab and 
this Is really nice song. 

just hit the bass note quickly and strum D or the entire chord, 
im pretty sure he alternates between the two

well I came in off a dead end street
D/B 	  	  	 dmaj7
walked in slow took a back row seat 
D                         D#/C     D/B          Dmaj7
well I knew I had nothing new to say

D 	  	  	 D#/C

D/B                             Dmaj7
I couldn't help but feeling bad about 
        G                G
just having to be here anyway

 	 (Same chords)
(V2)
a friend of a friend from work came in 
I never knew what to think of him 
he always seemed to be so insincere

I've always been afraid o a 12 step crowd
cause they laugh to much and they talk to loud 
like they all know where everyone should be 

(Chorus)
 	     D D#/C     D/B   Dmaj7     G
its been a lon------------g long long year

 	     D D#/C     D/B   Dmaj7      G
its been a lon------------g long long year

G 	  	 G
how did I get here 

(V3)
well they were talking in a circle and I was by myself
and everyone was telling everyone how they felt
and it felt like so long since I was young 

well that circle started moving all the way to the back
and I started wondering what I was gonna say 
and I still didn't know as it rolled of my tongue

(Repeat Chorus)

(V4)
well I didn't say a word all the way to the car
a little later on that night at the bar 
I was telling everyone how bad my life had been 

he said well brother all you needs another shot
so I threw one down and said thanks a lot 
as I thought to myself well here we go again

(Repeat Chorus)
