Long Way Down Cifras

[Intro]
D G
 
[Verse 1]
D           G                 D        G
One time I shook hands with a pirate
D           G                D         G
He gave me a map to all his gold
D           G                D         G
After a lifetime I finally found it
D                 G                D      G
By then I was too old to bring it home
         Bm   A     D    G D G
It was a long way down
 
D            G              D       G
On a snowy night in late December
D            G             D        G
I set out to find some mistletoe
D                G                D       G
She had promised me all kinds of kisses
D               G                D         G
None of them were worth the poems I wrote
          Bm   A    G
It was a long way down
 
 
[Chorus]
A             G               D
Long way to fall to have nobody catch ya
A             G               D
Long way to call to have nobody answer
A             G              D
Long walk home if you don't know the mountain
      G D G
Roads
 
 
[Verse 2]
D                G              D       G
One night while playing in a graveyard
D                     G               D         G
Somebody's hand reached up and grabbed my leg
D           G              D       G
It was my dearly departed grandpa
D                   G              D         G
He said 'I bet you thought that I was dead
              Bm   A    D    G D G
I was just a long way down'
 
D                G                       D            G
And on the night before the day that I got married
D                   G              D      G
An old man said 'Hey listen to me son
D                   G               D         G
Make sure you wanna hold that girl forever
D                   G                 D              G
'Cuz once you say 'I do' you gotta do it 'till it's done
            Bm   A    G
And it's a long way down'
 
 
[Chorus]
A             G               D
Long way to fall to have nobody catch ya
A             G               D
Long way to call to have nobody answer
A             G              D
Long walk home if you don't know the mountain
      G, D, G
Roads
 
 
[Chorus 2]
A             G               D
A long fall down to Earth from Heaven
A            G                D
A long walk back to there from Hell
A                  G                    D
And sometimes the difference between them is hard to
Bm      D     G
Tell
 
 
[Verse 3]
D                G               D          G
One time I met a tree out in the forest
D                   G              D         G
I said 'Tree I wanna be as big as you'
D                      G                 D         G
He said 'Boy I wish you never had have found me
D                      G                  D        G
'Cuz that means that lumberjack can find me too
             Bm  A    G      D
And it's a long way down'
