Intro Bb and Bb9

Bb              Bb9 Bb                     Bb9 Bb
Out where the creek turns shallow and sandy 
Bb                  Bb9 Bb               Bb9 Bb
And the moon comes skimmin' away the stars 
Bb                        Bb9  Bb                   Bb9 Bb
The wind in the mesquite comes rushin' over the hilltops 
Bb                Eb
Straight into my arms 
                   Bb Bb9  Bb
Straight into my arms 
Bb              Bb9 Bb                Bb9 Bb
I'm riding hard carryin' a catch of roses 
Bb      Bb9 Bb         Bb9 Bb
And a fresh map that I made 
Bb            Bb9 Bb                Bb9 Bb     
Tonight I'm gonna get birth naked and bury my old soul 
Bb                   Eb
And dance on its grave 
                    Bb  Bb9 Bb         
And dance on its grave 
             F        Bb             Eb
It's been a long time comin', my dear 
             F        Bb                  Eb            
It's been a long time comin' but now it's here 
          Bb
now it's here

Bb              Bb9 Bb           Bb9 Bb
Well my daddy he was just a stranger 
Bb       Bb9 Bb       Bb9 Bb
Lived in a hotel downtown 
Bb              Bb9 Bb                Bb9 Bb
When I was a kid he was just somebody 
Bb                   Eb
Somebody I'd see around 
                     Bb  Bb9  Bb
Somebody I'd see around 

Bb              Bb9 Bb            Bb9 Bb
Now down below and pullin' on my shirt 
Bb      Bb9 Bb          Bb9 Bb
I got some kids of my own 
Bb                 Bb9 Bb                Bb9 Bb
Well if I had one wish in this god forsaken world, kids 
Bb                                    Eb
It'd be that your mistakes would be your own 
                             Bb   Bb9  Bb
Yea your sins would be your own 
              F          Bb          Eb
It's been a long time comin', my dear 
              F          Bb          Eb      
It's been a long time comin' but now it's here 
         Bb  
now it’s here

Bb          Bb9 Bb            Bb9 Bb
Out 'neath the arms of Cassiopeia 
Bb              Bb9 Bb                Bb9 Bb
Where the sword of Orion sweeps 
Bb              Bb9 Bb                Bb9 Bb
It's me and you, Rosie, cracklin' like crossed wires 
Bb                         Eb
And you breathin' in your sleep 
                      Bb Bb9  Bb
You breathin' in your sleep 

Bb              Bb9 Bb                Bb9 Bb
Well there's just a spark of campfire burning 
Bb         Bb9 Bb              Bb9 Bb
Two kids in a sleeping bag beside 
Bb              Bb9 Bb                Bb9 Bb
I Reach 'neath your shirt, lay my hands across your belly 

Bb                           Eb
And feel another one kickin' inside 
                              Bb
I ain't gonna fuck it up this time 

            F         Bb          Eb       
It's been a long time comin', my dear 
            F         Bb                Eb   
It's been a long time comin' but now it's here 
            F         Bb            Eb 
It's been a long time comin', my dear 
            F         Bb                Eb 
It's been a long time comin' but now it's here
