My first tab ever. This is a very easy song, just a few chords and a very catchy rhythm pattern.

John Butler Trio
Gonna be a long time
From the album April Uprising


x: silence, percusive note

Intro, verse and chorus (take care of the syncopated rhythm and the silences):

      G   G   Bm   Bm   Em  Em   A   A
e---x-3-x-3--x-7-x-7--x-0-x-0--x-0-x-0---]
B---x-3-x-3--x-7-x-7--x-0-x-0--x-2-x-2---]
G---x-4-x-4--x-7-x-7--x-0-x-0--x-2-x-2---]
D---x-5-x-5--x-9-x-9--x-2-x-2--x-2-x-2---]
A---x-5-x-5--x-9-x-9--x-2-x-2--x-0-x-0---]
E---x-3-x-3--x-7-x-7--x-0-x-0--x---x-----]


Bridge (i use this rhythm, but just try to get the feel of the song):

    C        C     C      C       D      D     A      A
e------------------------------------------------------------]
B-----3--x----3----3--x----3------5--x----5-----0--x-----0---]
G-----5--x----5----5--x----5------7--x----7-----2--x-----2---]
D-----5--x----5----5--x----5------7--x----7-----2--x-----2---]
A---3----x--3----3----x--3------5----x--5-----0----x--0------]
E------------------------------------------------------------]


And that´s all. This is not a very exhaustive tab (there´s no solo, and probably there 
are some chords changes that i don´t have listed ), but i hope that it will be helpful.

Have fun!
