A Long December
by The Counting Crows
from Recovering The Satellites
brought to you by Tony Donato and Sal Ferrarello

NOTE: This is A Long December in a different key than already exists
in the file by Michael A. Mazur. I find this key easier to play in and
it
still sounds great.

[C]A long [G]December ..[D]reason to [Am]..
Maybe [C]this year will be [G]better than the [C]last
[C]I can't [G]remember the last thing that you [D]said as you were
[Am]leavin'
Now the [C]days go [G]by so [C]fast
And it's [G]one more day up [C]in the can[Am]yons
And it's [G]one more night [C]in Hollywood[Am]
If you [G]think that I could [C]be for[Am]given...I wish you would
[Chorus: G C Am D G C Am]

[C]The smell of [G]hospitals in [D]winter
And the [Am]feeling that it's [C]all a lot of [G]oysters, but no
[C]pearls
All at [G]once you look [D]across a crowded [Am]room
To see the [C]way that light [G]attaches to a [C]girl
And it's [G]one more day up [C]in the can[Am]yons
And it's [G]one more night [C]in Hollywood[Am]
If you [G]think you might [C]come to Cali[Am]fornia...I think you should
[Chorus]

[C]Drove up to [G]Hillside Manor [D]sometime after [Am]two a.m.
And [C]talked a little [G]while about the [C]year
I guess the [G]winter makes you [D]laugh a little [Am]slower,
Makes you [C]talk a little [G]lower about the [C]things you could not
show her
And it's been a long [G]December and there's [D]reason to [Am]believe
Maybe [C]this year will be [G]better than the [C]last
I can't [G]remember all the [D]times I tried to [Am]tell my myself
To [C]hold on to these [G]moments as they [C]pass
And it's [G]one more day up [C]in the can[Am]yons
And it's [G]one more night [C]in Hollywood[Am]
It's [G]been so long since I've [C]seen the ocean[Am]...I guess I should
[Chorus]

Long December by Counting Crows

Transcribed By Matt J. MacDonald


Here is a correcction and improvment on a file posted earlier,
it is easier to play it this way because there are no barre
chords (because of the capo) with just one guitar accompanying
yourself for instance. It probably sounds ok with a band too. Enjoy!


*****CAPO 3*****(actual chords in brackets for piano purposes)

INTRO: D(F) G(Bb) Em(Gm) G(Bb)
D(F) G(Bb) Em(Gm)...(add7)? <-----(not too sure)

right before the words come in do this:
(relative to the capo)
A|------------------------
E|-10\3-------------------
and on the 3 come in with the G(Bb) chord

G(Bb) D(F) A(C) Em(Gm)
A long December ...
G(Bb) D(F) G(Bb)
Maybe this year ...
Em(Gm) G(Bb) D(F) A(C) Em(Gm)
I can't ...
D(F) G(Bb)
Now the days ...

Chorus:
D(F) G(Bb) Em(Gm)
And it's ...
D(F) G(Bb) Em(Gm)
And it's one ...
D(F) G(Bb) Em(Gm)...|
If you think ... I wish you would

D(F) G(Bb)
Na na na na
Em(Gm) G(Bb)
Na na na na na na na na na
D(F) G(Bb) Em(Gm)
Na na na na yeah

G(Bb) D(F) A(C)
The smell ...
winter
Em(Gm) G(Bb) D(F) G(Bb)
And the feeling ...
Em(Gm) G(Bb) D(F) A(C)
All at once ...
Em(Gm) D(F) G(Bb)
To see ...

D(F) G(Bb) Em(Gm)
And it's one ...
D(F) G(Bb) Em(Gm)
And it's one ...
