Long Time Running — Tragically Hip
Intro: A E/G# F#m E D E
A F#m
Does your mother tell you things
A
Long, long when I’m gone
F#m
Who you talking to
E
Is she telling you I’m the one
D
It’s a grave mistake
A E/G# F#m E D E
And I’m wide awake
A F#m
Drive-in’s rained out
A
Weatherman wet fingers the sky
He pokes it out
F#m
He pulls it in
E
He don’t know why
D E
It’s the same mistake
A E/G# F#m E D E
Chorus It’s been a long time running
A E/G# F#m E D E
It’s been a long time coming
A
It’s well worth the wait
F#m
A F#m
A F#m
We don’t go anywhere
Just on trips
A F#m
We haven’t seen a thing
E
We still don’t know where it is
D E
It’s a safe mistake
A E/G# F#m E D E
It’s been a long time running
A E/G# F#m E D E
It’s been a long time coming
D A
Well, well it’s all the same mistake
D
Dead to rights and wide awake
A
I’ll drop a caribou
D
I’ll tell on you
F#m E D E
I’ll tell on you
A F#m
You got a boat load of nerve
A
But I would say you’ve been told
F#m
You work me against my friends
E
And you’ll get left out in the cold
D E
It’s the same mistake
Chorus

Subject: CRD/LYR: Long time running — Tragically Hip
This is the first time I post something here, so all comments are
welcome. I know this song only from a Dutch radio-show where all kind
of bands come and play, sort of semi-unplugged, so it’s maybe a little
different from the original (which I don’t really know). This song
also appears on a CD of this radio-show: 2 Meter Sessies, Vol. 3.
(Radio Records VCD 474724 2, distribution by Sony). On these CD’s
(Vol. 5 is out now) are a lot of famous bands, playing
very-good-to-play-yourself-acousticly versions of well- or less
well-known songs. I’m planning to post a few more if it’s appreciated,
let me know.
