Song: Its Been A Long Time Band: Southside Johnny & The Asbury Dukes (w/ Bruce Springsteen & Steve Van Zandt) Album: Better Days Tabbed by: C. MacDonnell A D We lived in a time and a world of our own A F#m Making up the rules as we went along A D Just one coat between us and we never felt cold A E We were never gonna get old A D Playin' cards 'till the sun came up and rollin' dice A F#m Down to the club and listen to the blues all night A D Girls down on the corner got lonely now and then A E We'd never be that free again A D It's been a long time since we laughed together A F#m It's been a long time since we cried A D Raise your glass for the comrades we've lost A E A My friend it's been a long, long time A D Workin' just enough to pay the rent A F#m Money got made, baby, money got spent A D Sleeping when we had nothin' left to do A E Under the boardwalk and up on the roof A D We never quite fit baby, we never played the game A F#m Came out explodin' like a runaway train A D Up all night talkin' 'bout dreams of better days A E Ain't it funny how some things don't change A D It's been a long time since we laughed together A F#m It's been a long time since we cried A D Raise your glass for the comrades we've lost A E A My friend it's been a long, long time (Guitar Solo) A D A F#m A D A E A (x2) A D We lived in a time and a world of our own A F#m Making up the rules as we went along A D Just one coat between us and we never felt cold A E We were never gonna get old A D It's been a long time since we laughed together A F#m It's been a long time since we cried A D Raise your glass for the comrades we've lost A E A My friend it's been a long, long time
