The Tragically Hip – Wait So Long (Guitar)

Em                      Esus2        C
    I thought it was my duty  as an honest man

Em                  Esus2            C
    Raving about my country, doing what I can

Em                      D                           C
    With the luxury of hindsight, I suppose it was just a stand

Em                            Esus2          C
    She walked me down to the  end  of the road

            Em                  Esus2         C
    And she    laughed till she cried as she turned to go

               Em           D                            C
    She said, "I  think of you and you feel it and you know"

Em   G              C
    Why you wanna wait so long?

Em             G                         C
    If you're gone this long, well, you gotta know he's long gone

Em                   G                      C
    You've been building up defenses and memorizing sentences

                        Em
    Just so you stay strong

     D              C
    Why you wanna wait so long?

Em                     Esus2          C
    It seems I've been offered for a life or two

Em              Esus2           C
    Two things,  now, tell me what I gotta do

Em                   D                     C
    I've got my old man's eyes and a dusty old picture of you

                 Em                 Esus2            C
    I don't know how long I've been shouldеring my headstone

Em           Esus2              C        Em
    One morе hill  and I'll be coming on home

                D                     C
    I can feel you down in the marrow of my bones

Em   G              C
    Why you wanna wait so long?

Em             G                         C
    If you're gone this long, well, you gotta know he's long gone

Em                   G                      C
    You've been building up defenses and memorizing sentences

                        Em
    Just so you stay strong

     D              C
    Why you wanna wait so long?

     G
Oh yeah

        C
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh

    G
Mm-mmh

        C
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh

                 G
Well, I've been jumping over fences

                               C
And running through fresh cut fields of lavender

                           G
One more hill and I'll be coming on home

                           C
One more hill and I'll be coming on home

 G                        C
Baby, baby, please hurry home

                    G
Baby, please hurry home

                    C
Baby, please hurry home

Em   G              C
    Why you wanna wait so long?

Em             G                         C
    If you're gone this long, well, you gotta know he's long gone

Em                   G                      C
    You've been building up defenses and memorizing sentences

                        Em
    Just so you stay strong

     D              C
    Why you wanna wait so long?

          Em   D              C
I hope I know why you wanna wait so long

  (Em)
Mm-mmh
