For A Long While Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][Em][A][Em][G][A][D]

[Verse 1]
This old [D]guitar,
I've toted far
And [G]though she's sometimes
[F#m]out of tune[D][Em]
[A]She earns her keep each
time she speaks
In the [G]dance [A]halls and barrooms
[D]There ain't an hour that old
wildwood flower
Don't [G]procure [D]a little smi[Em]le

[Verse 2]
[A]I guess that's how it's always been
Or at [G]least [A]for a long [D]while

[Verse 3]
[D]
It never fails when the world
ails [G]you
[D]And throws you to [Em]the ground[A]
Some old song forgotten long ago,
[G]comes bac[A]k aro[D]und
Picks you up and dusts you off
[G]In an old [D]analog style

[Verse 4]
[Em]I gu[A]ess that's how it's always been
Or at [G]least [A]for a long [D]while

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][G][Em][A]
[G][A][D]

[Verse 5]
Laid my [D]head on feather beds
And a [G]pal[D]let on [Em]the floor
[A]But I'd contest my best nights rest
Followed [G]work [A]days [D]full of chores
Any man that works his hands
Knows [G]true [D]reward and trial
[Em]

[Verse 6]
[A]I guess that's
how it's always been
Or at [G]least [A]for a long [D]while

[Verse 7]
[D]
Restlessness and breathlessness
[G]Can creep in over tim[Em]e
[A]When things get slow, you got to [G]go
Hear that [A]highway [D]whine
The more you roam, you'll long for home
[G]With every [D]passing [Em]mile[A]

[Verse 8]
I guess that's [A]how it's always been
Or at [G]least for [A]a long w[D]hile
[A]I guess that's how it's always been
Or at [G]least [A]for a long [D]while
