Tom: Am
C C/B Am
Oh it’s like a storm at sea
C E Am Am/G
And everything is lost,
F C Am Em
And the fretful sailors calling out their woes,
F Am Em Em7
As to the waves they’re tossed.
[Verse 2]
C C/B Am
Oh they are all gentlemen
C E Am Am/G
And never will they know
F C Am Em
If there is a reason each of them must go
F Am Em Em7
To join the cruel flow.
[Chorus 1]
D Dmaj7 G
And it’ll take a long, long time.
D Dmaj7 G
It’ll take a long, long time.
D Dmaj7 G
It’ll take a long, long time.
D Dmaj7 G
Oh it’ll take such a long, long time.

[Verse 3]
C C/B Am
There is no need for rules,
C E Am Am/G
There’s no-one to score the game
F C Am Em
And there is nobody living in this town
F Am Em Em7
As even knows its name.
[Chorus 2]
D Dmaj7 G
Oh it’ll take such a long, long time.
D Dmaj7 G
It’ll take a long, long time.
D Dmaj7 G
It’ll take a long, long time.
D Dmaj7 G
A long, long time.
