Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

[ A7sus2 A7sus2] (Riff 1)

  ( sus2)* add4

Verse 1: I’ve got one more remaining hour

C add9 Bb6 no5 A7sus4 [Riff 1]

with you in this dusty room. And you know that

  add4

just like some plastic flowers

C add9 Bb6 no5 A7sus4 [Riff 1]

You just never see them bloom

Chorus: C

Oh I, I burned the candle,

  add4(2)

For you so many times

  add4 ( sus4)

You know they never burn too slow

C add9 Bb6 no5 D sus4 G..[Repeat intro chords]

And I’ve still got a long way to go

Verse 2: I came across a wise man

Seemed that he might understand

Promised that he would lighten up my load (Yes he did now).

I put my money in his hand,

I thought he was a ticket man

Sent me off down the road

Chorus: Oh well I put my trust in

oh so many a man

Never tell who’s friend or foe

And I’ve still got a long way to go

Bridge: F 6th no5 G

Time can be so hard (time can be so hard)

  6th no5

There ain’t no shuffling of the cards that you dealt

  This I know, now I know.

Verse 3: I walked through fields of snow

Feeling warm from the after-glow

I thought I’d never feel the cold. And you know that

I saw a star up in the sky,

I felt that it could be mine

Instead it was the king of rock n’roll

Chorus: Yeah, things aren’t always quite

what they seem, no.

I’d pay nothing to see the show

F 6th no5 C add9

And I’ve still got a long way to go. Oh,oh whoa.

Verse 4: I’ve still got a long way (still got a long way)

I’ve still got a long way

And I’ve still got a long way to go.
