The Long Way Around Tab

by Dixie Chicks


Hi! This is my first tab, so go easy on me. :P There is a more accurate version of this
on capo 3, but this one is easier to play and sounds about the same. If you want the
to the chords, just listen to the song, or you can send me a message and I can give you 
the details. Have fun!

Capo = 5

                   
My friends from high school
                            
Married their high school boyfriends
         
Moved into houses
           
In the same ZIP codes
       
Where their parents live


                      
But I, I could never follow
                     
No I, I could never follow


         
I hit the highway
                
In a pink RV with stars on the ceiling
          
Lived like a gypsy
                  
Six strong hands on the steering wheel


                    
I've been a long time gone now
                                
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
                         
But I've always found my way somehow


                     
By taking the long way
                  
Taking the long way around
                  
Taking the long way
                  
Taking the long way around


                  
Met the queen of whatever
                       
Drank with the Irish, smoked with the hippies
            
Moved with the shakers
                               
Wouldn't kiss all the asses that they told me to


                     
No I, I could never follow
                     
No I, I could never follow


                
Its been two long years now
                                 
Since the top of the world came crashing down
                             
And I'm getting it back on the road now


                          
But I'm taking the long way
                  
Taking the long way around
                  
Taking the long way
                  
Taking the long way around
    
The long

The long way around


Well, I fought with a stranger and I met myself

I opened my mouth and I heard myself

It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself

Guess I could have made it easier on myself


                      
But I, I could never follow
                     
No I, I could never follow


                                 
Well, I never seem to do it like anybody else
                                
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
                                   
If you ever want to find me I can still be found
