It’ll Take A Long Time
Sandy Denny
Capo 3
C Bm Am
Oh it’s like a storm at sea
C Em Am
And everything is lost,
G F C Am Em
And the fretful sailors calling out their woes,
F Am Em
As to the waves they’re tossed.
C Bm Am
Oh they are all gentlemen
C Em Am
And never will they know
G F C Am Em
If there is a reason each of them must go,
F Am Em
To join the cruel flow.
D G Bm
And it’ll take a long, long time.
D G Bm
It’ll take a long, long time.
D G Bm
It’ll take a long, long time.
D G Bm
Oh it’ll take such a long, long time.
C Bm Am
There is no need for rules,
C Em Am
There’s no-one to score the game
G F C Am Em
And there is nobody living in this town
F Am Em
As even knows its name.
D G Bm
Oh it’ll take such a long, long time.
D G Bm
It’ll take a long, long time.
D G Bm
It’ll take a long, long time.
D G Bm
A long, long time.
