Verse
A
I sang the song slowly
E6 A
As she stood in the shadows
D
She stepped to the light
E6 A
As my silver strings spun
A E
She called with her eyes
D A
To the tune I’s a-playing
A Asus4
But the song it was long
E6 A Asus4 Asus2
And I’d only begun
[Verse 2]
A
Through a bullet of light
E6 A
Her face was reflecting
D
The fast fading words
E6 A
That rolled from my tongue
A E
With a long-distance look
D A
Her eyes was on fire
A Asus4
But the song it was long
E6 A Asus4 Asus2
And there was more to be sung
[Verse 3]
A
My eyes danced a circle
E6 A
Across her clear outline
D
With her head tilted sideways
E6 A
She called me again
A E
As the tune drifted out
D A
She breathed hard through the echo
A Asus4
But the song it was long
E6 A Asus4 Asus2
And it was far to the end
[Verse 4]
A
I glanced at my guitar
E6 A
And played it pretending
D
That of all the eyes out there
E6 A
I could see none
A E
As her thoughts pounded hard
D A
Like the pierce of an arrow
A Asus4
But the song it was long
E6 A Asus4 Asus2
And it had to get done
[Verse 5]
A
As the tune finally folded
E6 A
I laid down the guitar
D
Then looked for the girl
E6 A
Who’d stayed for so long
A E
But her shadow was missing
D A
For all of my searching
A Asus4
So I picked up my guitar
E6 A Asus4 Asus2
And began the next song
