The Longest Road Tabs & Lyrics by David Fonseca

The Longest Road

guitar tabs lyrics

David Fonseca

The song uses mostly known chords with variations of picking, a majority of which are
down towards the high e string.
In my opinion a very very beautiful song, I apologize if my tab is complicated, this was
best way i could get it down in writen form.
Feel free to use it and edit it in a better format if necessary.

Picking between 0:15 and 0:18 in the song
Each note is about a second long.

FMaj
You lie on your bed like a submarine
With an open window letting the water in

Like a voice in a choir

FMaj
A flicker on a fluorescent tube
An injured bird wandering around the room

That was caught in the wire

FMaj
So don't you go playing tough
I know this game and I had enough

So let's keep it clear

Em
Free from all those little schemes
Am Am7
A little bit more like dreams

Am C FMaj
It's right in front of you
Am C FMaj
The longest road for you to walk through
Am C FMaj
If this is the place to start
Am C FMaj
Then go, follow your heart


FMaj
You're famous for you dancing feet
But your're tap-dancing on wet concrete

Hey Fred, cool it down


FMaj
You're pointing cameras at hurricanes
Like you could stop them, lock them in frames

B--------------------------|
G--------------------------|
D-----------------6-----3--|
A-----3-----6--------------|
E--------------------------|
A scream with no sound


FMaj
So don't you go and be the best
There's no one running, this ain't a test

It's you and me here


Em
This is like nothing you've seen
Am
Like a nightmare, like a dream


Am C FMaj
It's right in front of you

Am C FMaj
The longest road for you to walk through

Am C FMaj
If this is the place to start

Am C FMaj
Then go, follow your heart
