[Start]

[Intro]
C#sus4 F#   C#sus4         
■      Long black Limousine


[Verse]
F#                        C#sus4
■  Shiniest car I've ever seen  
B                              
The back seat is nice and clean
C#sus4       F#               C#sus4
She rides as quiet as a dream ■     
C#                     B                      
Someone dug a hole six long feet in the ground
C#                        B                    
I said goodbye to you and I threw my roses down
C#                           B                     
Ain't nothing left at all in the end of being proud
                               C#                      B     
With me riding in this car and you flying through them clouds


[Chorus]
                      F#             
I've had some time to think about you
B                       C#sus4 F#   
■ And watch the sun set like a stone
B                       D#m            
■ I've had some time to think about you
   C#       F#        B F#
On the long ride home ■ ■ 


[Verse]
C#sus4 F#                       C#sus4
■      One day I took your tiny hand  
F#                                 
Put your finger in the wedding band
B                              
Your daddy gave a piece of land
C#sus4                             
We laid ourselves the best of plans


[Chorus]
C#                     B                         
Forty years go by with someone laying in your bed
C#                        B                  F#        
Forty years of things you say you wish you'd never said
C#                                 B                        
How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead
                          C#              B  
I wonder as I stare up at the sky turning red
                      F#          B    
I've had some time to think about ■ you
                      F#          
And watch the sun set like a stone
B                       D#m            
■ I've had some time to think about you
C#          F#   B     
On the long ride ■ home


[Verse]
                          F#      
Headlights staring at the driveway
B                         C#  B 
■ The house is dark as it can be
                D#m          
I go inside and all is silent
       C#                              B 
And it seems as empty as the inside of me


[Chorus]
                      F#          B    
I've had some time to think about ■ you
                      F#          
And watch the sun set like a stone
B                       D#m            
■ I've had some time to think about you
       C#      B       
On the long oh the long
C#         
On the long
   B                 
Oh the long ride home


[Outro]
F# C#sus4 B F#
