Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
Does your mother tell you things
Long, long when I'm gone
Who you talking to
Is she telling you I'm the one
It's a grave mistake
And I'm wide awake
Drive-in's rained out
Weatherman wet fingers the sky
He pokes it out
He pulls it in
He don't know why
It's the same mistake
Chorus It's been a long time running
It's been a long time coming
It's well worth the wait
We don't go anywhere
Just on trips
We haven't seen a thing
We still don't know where it is
It's a safe mistake
It's been a long time running
It's been a long time coming
Well, well it's all the same mistake
Dead to rights and wide awake
I'll drop a caribou
I'll tell on you
I'll tell on you
You got a boat load of nerve
But I would say you've been told
You work me against my friends
And you'll get left out in the cold
It's the same mistake
This is the first time I post something here, so all comments are
welcome. I know this song only from a Dutch radio-show where all kind
of bands come and play, sort of semi-unplugged, so it's maybe a little
different from the original (which I don't really know). This song
also appears on a CD of this radio-show: 2 Meter Sessies, Vol. 3.
(Radio Records VCD 474724 2, distribution by Sony). On these CD's
(Vol. 5 is out now) are a lot of famous bands, playing
very-good-to-play-yourself-acousticly versions of well- or less
well-known songs. I'm planning to post a few more if it's appreciated,
let me know.
Long time running - Tragically Hip
Does you mother tell you things?
Long, long when I'm gone?
Who you talking to?
Is she telling you I'm the one?
It's a grave mistake and I'm wide awake.
Drive-in's rained out
Weatherman wet-fingers the sky
He pokes it out, he pulls it in
He don't know why
It's the same mistake
It's been a lo - - ng time running
It's been a lo - - ng time coming
It's well worth the wait
We don't go anywhere
Just on trips
We haven't seen a thing
We still don't know where it is
It's a safe mistake
It's been a long time running
It's been a long time coming
Well, well it's all the same mistake
Dead to rights and wide awake
I'll drop a caribou, I'll tell on you
I'll tell on you, I'll tell on you
You've got a boatload of nerve
But I would say you've been told
You work me against my friends
And you'll get left out in the cold
It's the same mistake
