Introduction:
A G A G E4 E
When you're falling awake and you take stock of the new day
A G A G E4 E
And you hear your voice croak as you choke on what you need to say
C G
Well, don't you fret, don't you fear
D E E4
I will give you good cheer
A G
Life's a long song
A G
Life's a long song
A G
Life's a long song
D E E4
If you wait then your plate I will fill
A G A G E4E
As the verses unfold and your soul suffers the long day
A G A
And the twelve o'clock gloom spins the room
G E4E
You struggle on your way
C G
Well, don't you sigh, don't you cry
D E E4
Lick the dust from your eye
A G
Life's a long song
A G
Life's a long song
A G
Life's a long song
D E E4
We will meet in the sweet light of dawn
A G A G E E4
As the Baker Street train spills your pain all over your new dress
A G A G E E4
And the symphony sounds underground put you under duress
C G D E E4
Well don't you squeal as the heel grinds you under the wheel
A G
Life's a long song
A G
Life's a long song
A G
Life's a long song
D E E4E A
But the tune ends too soon for us all
