L O N G D E A D G O N E

by John Wesley Harding

from The Name Above The Title

(chord fingering not specified in this version)

Key: A major

It’s so easy to forgo
It’s so hard to forget
It’s so hard for to realize
That I’m not dead yet
When everything that we wanted
Is beyond beyond
And all that I hoped for is
Long dead gone – alright

So how can I sleep
In this memory bed
When I feel like a grave
With a tomb for a bed head
With your name and my name
Carved deep in the stone
Now faded away ’cause we’re
Long dead gone
Well we’re long dead gone
We’re long dead gone – yeah
Now faded away because we’re
Lo-ong dead gone

Love lies bewildered
Checking its pulse
To see if it compares
To anything else
And two things still beating
Never as one
And one thing lies choking ’cause it’s
Long dead gone
Well it’s long dead gone
It’s long dead gone – yeah
One thing lies choking ’cause it’s
Lo-ong dead gone

So here rests in pieces
Whatever it was
That we could admit to
F#major Bm
Whatever it was
That was me and you

What was me and you

What was me and you – yeah

So why won’t I just
Let it die and get rid
Of the truth that we would both
Would’ve rather kept hid
Better to live a lie
Than pretend that you’re not
And live out a love which is
Long dead gone
Well we’re long dead gone – yeah
Well we’re long dead gone – yeah
Don’t live out a love which is – yeah
Lo-ong dead gone
Never live out a love which is
Lo-ong dead gone
Never live out a love which is
Lo-ong dead gone – yeah

Chords
~~~~~~
As this version doesn’t specify which chord fingerings should be
used, I haven’t included a chord chart. If you want to know the
fingerings, see the other posting of this song with specified
chords. N.B. F#major is not written as F# purely to make it
clear that it isn’t F#m.

Notes
~~~~~
1. Learn the song by playing along to the album track.

2. Feel free to use different versions of the same chord or slighlty
different varieties of the same one to colour your music. For
example, I use a Dsus2 to link the D and Bm chords in the 4th line
of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th sections.

3. If you don’t want to use these linking chords (such as the Dsus2’s
all through this CRD, you needn’t).

4. If you’re new to barre chords, and would rather stick to open ones
you could transpose the tune to the key of G major, which involves
shifting all chords done by a tone:
This version: Transposed to G major:



C# & C#7 B7 should be okay
F#major Emajor (just plain E)
If you want to do this and have a capo, putting it on the 2nd fret
will get you in tune with the album track.

6. A big thankyou (THANKYOU) to Alan Pulliam for supplying the lyrics
to Long Dead Gone and Backing Out. They made my job a lot easier.

7. Very important this: Have Fun.
