So Long, So Long Dashboard Confessional
This version is from the new Dusk and Summer album. It's a bit weird to play on guitar
it's meant for piano but I've transcribing it to sound good on acoustic. You should be
to play along to the song with this tab or play solo and sound good as long as you tune
half step down.
[Intro]
[G-Am-Em-D]
[Verse 1]
[G]Hand out the [Am]window flotain' on [Em]air
Just a flip of the [D]wrist and I am waving you [G]goodbye[Am-Em-D]
[G]Drive past the l[Am]ifeguard stand where [Em]I'd sit around [D]waiting for you to
[G]remember[Am-Em-D]
[Em]As I drive
[Cborus]
[G]How the girls can turn to [Am]ghosts before you eyes
And the [Em]very dreams that lead to them are [D]keeping them from dying
[G]And how the grace with which she [Am]walked into your life
Will [Em]stay with you in your steps and [D]pace with you a while
[C]For so long so long
[G-Am-Em-D]So long, So long
[Verse 2]
[G] [Am] [Em] [D]
The spea[G]ker in this door is blown so nothing sounds quite right
Taking my time [Am]taking this drive waving[Em] this tow[D]n good[G]bye
And I drive this [Am]ocean [Em]roa[D]d and rememb[G]er
[G]The smell of your b[Am]ack the nape of your neck [Em]I remember everything
[Em]As I drive
[Em]I'm wavin' this town goodbye.
[Cborus]
[Super-lame bab dab dab vocal part]
[G-Am-Em-D]
[Refrain]
[G]And I will leave under the c[Am]over of summer's kiss upon the [Em]sky
Like the stone face of your l[Am]over just before she says goodby[D]e
And I was thinking that the [Am]season could be held between my [Em]arms
But just as summer's hold is [Am]fleeting I was here but now I'm [G]gone[Am-Em-D]
[G-Am-Em-D]I'm gone
[End]
[G-Am-Em-D]Make sure the song ends on G and if you're cool, don't do the lame dah dah dum vocal
especially at the end.
