However Long
Album: Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit


INTRO: A  D  F#  A  D  F#

                     A
See the man with the military mind
                       F#m
Tryin' to make us all afraid all the time
                      D               E                  F#m
Tryin' to make us all stay inside and lock our doors and windows
                  A
See the man's got too much to count
                        F#m
Tryin' to recollect the Sermon on the Mount
                D                     E                 F#m
Blessed are the poor when they're all swinging from the gallows


PRE-CHORUS:
             D                       A
But I ain't afraid no more, I ain't afraid no more
         D                          E
I ain't afraid no more, no I ain't afraid


CHORUS:
               A                   D                F#m
'Cause however long the night, the dawn will break again
          A                   D                F#m
We'll be around when you have lost your oldest friends
                A              D           Bm              F#m
There's nothin' you can say or do to us to drown out this amen
               A                   D                F#m
'Cause however long the night, the dawn will break again


See the poet with nothin' left to say
Starin' down at blank pages all day
Let the alcohol take you away and sleep the way fools do
See the beast with the gasoline hand
Breathin' fire, drawin' lines in the sand
Pray we find ourselves a better plan and die the way we used to


PRE-CHORUS


CHORUS:
However long the night, the dawn will break again
We'll be around when they have found your next of kin
There's nothin' you can do or say to us to drown out this amen
'Cause however long the night, the dawn will break again


BRIDGE:
                       D
See the woman with the roses in her hair
                          A
Bringin' lovin' when it's too much to bear
                     D
Tell me I can make a difference this time
                  E
All I gotta do is make it all rhyme


SOLO: A  D  F#m  A  D  Bm  F#m


CHORUS:
However long the night, the dawn will break again
We'll be around when they have found your next of kin
There's nothin' you can do or say to us to drown out this amen
'Cause however long the night, the dawn will break again

            A     D  F#m
Will break again
