Indigo Girls – Look Long (Guitar)

D                                          Em
  All the way, all the way, all the way to Nashville

                G           A
we talked about God and the Devil.

D                              Em
 Everyone I know can sense Armageddon,

             G                           D
we want to believe in something, we’re unsettled.

   G                 A               D          G
My grandfather had a telescope and a magnifying glass,

            G                                A
through the scope on starry nights we saw forever

           D                                G             A          D
and in the morning Florida sun I burned the grass with my magnifying glass.

     D            Em           G        D
Look   long, look   long, look   long, mm.

D                                                        Em
  There’s a reason, there’s a reason that they call it a Hail Mary,

            G            A
it’s all or nothing on a prayer.

D                                  Em
  On the brink of loss we take our last shot,

        G                             D
with my shaky faith will you still be there.

   G                A
My grandmother had Apollo mission glasses,

              D                     G
etched in red white and blue commemoration.

       G                         A
I’m no AWOL patriot because I’ve dodged your party lines,

       D                       G           Gm        D
I will always love my troubled nation this beautiful land.

     D            Em           G        D
Look   long, look   long, look   long, mm.

       Em                        D
Me and Marsha went walking up in Northern Minnesota

     C                                      G
on a night so freezing cold the earth stood still.

            Em                          A
She talked about the prophecies and the future generations

           Am       Bm       C        D
and said: "will you keep the faith?"

           D       A       G         D
I said: "I will, I will, I will".

D                                            Em
  So we argue and we wrestle and we claim conviction,

                G                A
but we might as well be flipping coins.

D                                           Em
  More would be revealed if we’d adjust the focus

                G                    D
on the shortest distance between two points.

              G                                    A
Because these aren’t the best of times and they’re not the worst,

              D                         G
just like the edge of the Earth is an illusion.

              G                             A
God bless our brave little hearts and our inherent limitations

        Bb                      C      D
and our short-sighted plans and our collusion.

     D            Em           G        D
Look   long, look   long, look   long, mm.

     D            Em           G        D
Look   long, look   long, look   long, mm.
