Verse
D
I sang the song slowly
A6 D
As she stood in the shadows
G
She stepped to the light
A6 D
As my silver strings spun
D A
She called with her eyes
G D
To the tune I’s a-playing
D Dsus4
But the song it was long
A6 D Dsus4 Dsus2
And I’d only begun
[Verse 2]
D
Through a bullet of light
A6 D
Her face was reflecting
G
The fast fading words
A6 D
That rolled from my tongue
D A
With a long-distance look
G D
Her eyes was on fire
D Dsus4
But the song it was long
A6 D Dsus4 Dsus2
And there was more to be sung
[Verse 3]
D
My eyes danced a circle
A6 D
Across her clear outline
G
With her head tilted sideways
A6 D
She called me again
D A
As the tune drifted out
G D
She breathed hard through the echo
D Dsus4
But the song it was long
A6 D Dsus4 Dsus2
And it was far to the end
[Verse 4]
D
I glanced at my guitar
A6 D
And played it pretending
G
That of all the eyes out there
A6 D
I could see none
D A
As her thoughts pounded hard
G D
Like the pierce of an arrow
D Dsus4
But the song it was long
A6 D Dsus4 Dsus2
And it had to get done
[Verse 5]
D
As the tune finally folded
A6 D
I laid down the guitar
G
Then looked for the girl
A6 D
Who’d stayed for so long
D A
But her shadow was missing
G D
For all of my searching
D Dsus4
So I picked up my guitar
A6 D Dsus4 Dsus2
And began the next song
