Chord Gitar dan Lirik Lagu True Story Oleh Tony Lucca

This can be played strummed but sounds nice with just about any finger-picking pattern.
These are the chords in standard tuning, I believe he plays with a capo on the second
fret. After each verse he stops his finger-picking and plays a tiny pattern (I’ll call it “riff”)-

Rolled on out of Motown back in ‘91

Left them bitter winters for the Florida summer sun

Breakin’ hearts in theme parks

G (riff)
Smiled for anyone who held a camera to my face and said “Say cheese!”

Wound up on the telly With a twinkle in my eye

Twinkle disappeared the night I started gettin’ high

And everything seemed so absurd

Until the night I finally heard the sound of Coltrane

D7 G (riff)
It brought me to my knees

CHORUS
There’s a

long drive straight through the night

Starin’ out the

window Lookin’ for the first signs of daylight

Just

hold on tight With all of your might

G D7 G (riff)
See it takes the time it takes to get it right

So I

peddled across the country Wound up here in Hollywood

Left my high school sweetheart when I realized I could

She became a movie star

D7

G (riff)
I’ve took to sleepin’ in my car Still singin’ songs about her to this day

Drove myself to New York City Chasin’ love again

She moved me to tears and then I wound up movin’ in

That Apple got the best of me

D7

G (riff)
So I packed up the rest of me And I grabbed a cab, said “Straight to JFK!”

CHORUS
There’s a

long drive straight through the night

Starin’ out the

window Lookin’ for the first signs of daylight

Just

hold on tight With all of your might

G D7 G (riff)
See it takes the time it takes to get it right

Now I’m back in Hollywood This guitar in my hand

These

days I’m only using words that I can understand

Singin’ songs, I’ll carry on

G (riff)
Keep at it until I’m dead and gone Then maybe my gravestone will say

CHORUS
There’s a

long drive straight through the night

Starin’ out the

window Lookin’ for the first signs of daylight

Just

hold on tight With all of your might

G D7 G (riff)
See it takes the time it takes to get it right

See it

takes the time it takes to get it right (Third time’s the charm)

G D7 G (riff)
They say it takes the time it takes to get it right

First tab, so feel free to let me know if I made any mistakes!
