Long Run

no tricky bits but enough to play this heartwarming classic. most of the times instead of the A i play 002200 which seem to sound better when you play along with the record You look out your window at the cold grey dawn It's seven o'clock on a Monday morning Abarre Gbarre Pour a cup of coffee, better make it a strong one Weather man on the radio says it's going to rain And it's going to blow It'll be all right, it'll be all right it'll be all right in the long run (the gda are played one beat each) Australia marched out of Vietnam Out on the streets against Uncle Sam We won the fight, it was a long one Uranium demo the other day One of my mates got dragged away As they slammed the door I heard her say IWBARITLR etc Italian bloke who works with me We swap laughs and company And he slapped me on the back and said "You're wrong son" This isn't the land I was told it wuld be It's not so equal and it's not so free IWBARITLR etc >From the shadow of history a convict screams The shearers curse, the people dream We've taken some right turns, they've been the wrong ones Troop ships leave and the headlines blaze Australia remembers happeir days And the faith lives on within the haze IWBARITLR etc So you sit in your camp and you stare at the fire The doubts drop away as the hopes get higher And you sing to yourself IWBARITLR And the sun gives ground to a long cold night And you screw up your courage for another fight But you know in your heart IWBARITLR And the sun streams in with power and might And you look at your kids in a different light And you know in your heart as you kiss them goodnight IWBARITLR transcribed by mike walsh improvements email [email protected]
