Long Ride Home Chords by Patty Griffin

[Start]

[Intro]
Gb            Dbsus4    Gb
■  Long black Limousine ■ 


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


[Chorus]
                      Gb             
I've had some time to think about you
B                       Gb          
■ And watch the sun set like a stone
B                       Ebm            
■ I've had some time to think about you
Db                    Dbsus4
On the long ride home ■     


[Verse]
Dbsus4                       
One day I took your tiny hand
    Dbsus4                         
Put your finger in the wedding band
     B                         
Your daddy gave a piece of land
        Dbsus4                     
We laid ourselves the best of plans
Db                     B                         
Forty years go by with someone laying in your bed
Db                        B                            
Forty years of things you say you wish you'd never said
Db                                 B           Gb           
How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead
B                         Db              B  
I wonder as I stare up at the sky turning red


[Chorus]
                      Gb             
I've had some time to think about you
B                       Gb          
■ And watch the sun set like a stone
B                       Ebm            
■ I've had some time to think about you
   Db       Gb        Dbsus4
On the long ride home ■     


[Verse]
B                    Gb             
■ Headlights staring at the driveway
Db B                       Db  B 
■  The house is dark as it can be
                    Ebm      
I go inside and all is silent
       Db                              B 
And it seems as empty as the inside of me


[Chorus]
                      Gb             
I've had some time to think about you
B                       Gb          
■ And watch the sun set like a stone
B                       Ebm             Db
■ I've had some time to think about you ■ 


[Outro]
B      Db   B      Gb   B Dbsus4
On the long oh the long ■ ■     
   Dbsus4  
On the long
       Dbsus4        
Oh the long ride home
