  • I've submitted to U-G, though I've been tabbing
    and playing for years. This is a beautiful song from an amazing writer.
     
  • This song is in the key of A major (F#, C#, G#). I placed the meter
    as 3/4 with a swung eighth feel, so read the tab likewise. The
    verse is basically outlining the root and third of each respective
  • scale degree in A Maj while letting the open A ring out. The verse
    and chorus share the general pulse listed above the first measure.

    The chorus is basically taken from two chords: B minor and E.

    The structure of the first part of the song:
  • Verse X2 (as intro)
    Verse X2
    Chorus X4
  • Verse X2 (without vocals)
    Verse X2
    Chorus X4
  • Chorus X4
     
    After the break the rest of the song is based on the same chord progression
  • as the chorus (B min and E).
     
    The lyrics as written on the CD insert:
  •  
    THE LONG WALK HOME
    RIDDLED WITH REGRET
  • UNCOMMONLY COMFORTABLE...
    BUT STILL I BELIEVE
     
  • THAT IN TIME I THINK I'LL SEE
    JUST WHAT'S BEEN WEIGHING DOWN ON ME
    AN UNEARTHLY VOID COLLAPSED
  • EXPOSING WHAT WAS TRAPPED
    TO RELEASE THIS SERENDIPITOUS DESIGN
     
  • THE SMELL OF SMOKE
    THE EVENING SKY WAS BRUISED
    BELATED CONVERSATIONS SATURATE ANTICIPATION
  • FOR THE ANSWERS THAT SIMPLY WON'T COME.
     
    BUT NOT I. I WON'T ASK.
  • FORGET MY PLACE AMONGST THE GRASS.
    THE LEAVES, AND THE TREES.
    REMEMBER ME AND IN MY NAIVETY
  • IT MIGHT BE SEEN
     
    THE PAIL HAS LEAKS AND EVEN IF
  • YOU PUT ALL YOUR WATER INTO IT
    YOU'LL END UP WITH NOTHING LEFT TO DRINK
    THE WELL HAS GONE DRY, AND I WITH IT.
  •  
    SOMEDAY SHE'LL BE GONE.
    WE'LL STILL HAVE HER SONG TO SING
  • SING SOFTLY, BRING ME TO THE LAKE.
  • PLAY TOO ..
