• Song:

    Gonna Be A Long Time

  • Artist:

    John Butler Trio

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 (320003@1) G (320003@1) Bm (x24432@1) Bm (x24432@1) Em (022000@1)Em (022000@1) A (x02220@1) Ae---x-3-x-3--x-7-x-7--x-0-x-0--x-0-x-0---] (x02220@1)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---]

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 (x32010@1)      C (x32010@1)   C (x32010@1)    C (x32010@1)     D (xx0232@1)    D (xx0232@1)   A (x02220@1)    Ae------------------------------------------------------------] (x02220@1)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!
