Chords

The guitars on Henley's recording are tuned down one step. They play D but because of the guitars tuned down, one hears C#. If you don't want to take the trouble of retuning your guitar, transpose this chord sheet -2 to C and then use a capo 1st fret to match the recording. [Intro] | D | Bm | F#m | A | | D | Bm | F#m | G | [Verse 1]
D                    Bm
  A long, long time ago,

F#m                      A
  When we were young and pretty

D                                   Bm
 We ruled the world, we stopped the time, we knew it all

F#m             A
  We owned this city

D                  Daug                Bm                      E
  Running with the crowd, carefree and proud, I heard somebody say

       D
Take a picture of this

A              D
  Aaah, take a picture of this
[Verse 2]
D                        Bm
  The years went rushing by

                       F#m                     A
In the twinkling of an eye, we rolled with the changes

D                      Bm
  The life we knew was gone

                          F#m          A
Our friends had all moved on, time rearranges

D                    Daug
  But on our wedding day

                      Bm            E
They all came back to say, "Congratulations"

       D
Take a picture of this

A              G
  Aaah, take a picture of this
[Bridge]
G                  Gm            D
 Then, we raised a family of our own

D7
 We were so happy, baby

G              C9                 Bm        E
 But now those kids are grown and gone
[Instrumental] | D/A | A | Gadd9 | G | [Bridge 2]
A  Bm          D/F#          G
      I gave it everything I had,

A  Bm             G                  D
      Through the good times and the bad

A  Bm              D/F#      G
      But now, I'm down here on the floor

A  Bm                G
      'Cause I don't know you anymore
[Verse 3]
D                         Bm                F#m                A
  Yeah, that's a suitcase,   yeah, that's a ticket for a plane

D                               Bm      F#m              A
 There's no one here to talk to,     no reason to remain

D                        Daug
 When you spend all your time living in the past

D6                                E
 With all those pictures that you took

       Bm                   E
Here's one more for the book

       D/A             A
Take a picture of this, this is me leaving

       G                                   [ D ]
Take a picture of this, this is me walking away
