Twenty Long Years Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I have a tale or two to [C]tell you
But the [Em]booze just makes me slow
[A]Oh I could rac[G]k my brain remembering
[C]But I gue[D]ss maybe I'll just go

[Verse 2]
[Em]There's a meth[G]od to my madne[C]ss
There's a [Em]secret to this town
[A]How there's a rea[G]son why
I'm still [C]livin' here
Though I [D]can't think of it right now

[Verse 3]
[Em]I ma[D]de a promise when
I [Em]left for the coast
[G]Twenty long years ago
[C]I m[D]ade a life out
of [Em]chasin' a ghost
[G]Twenty years takes its [C]toll, oh

[Verse 4]
[Am]I got along for
a [D]while I guess
But it [G]took everything I had
[C]I g[Am]ot to find a
way [D]out of this mess
I'm in [G]trouble and it sure looks bad

[Verse 5]
[Em]I have a thoug[G]ht or
two [C]to share with you
But the [Em]dope tends to cloud my mind
[A]I now des[G]troyed my
health searching [C]for myself
But there [D]ain't nothing

[Verse 6]
there to find
[Em]There's a debt[G] or
two I [C]owe you
But the [Em]gambling left [A]me poor
I put [G]up my name
in [C]the sacred game
And [D]forgot what I was playing for

[Verse 7]
[Em]I ma[D]de a promise when
I [Em]left for the coast
[G]Twenty long years ago
[C]I m[D]ade a life
out of [Em]chasin' a ghost
[G]Twenty years takes its [C]toll, oh

[Verse 8]
[Am]I got along for
