How Long

A (8x) C (8x) A (8x) C (8x) How long have we known each other now? Five, ten years, and I A (4x) C (4x) guess we've changed, and we'd A (4x) C (4x) run into each other in the subterranean D (8x) world... With the extras in their fright wigs and fins F (8x) on their way from funkhole to dugout... and D (8x) one night would keel over into another, and there never would seem to be a day, and F (8x) hey, you used to say you were polishing up on your survival tactics D (8x) (techinques) for the end of the world... and C (4x) A# (4x) you, you used to dig your beak into my ear and say "nothing" F (4x) A# (4x) like a secret... D(Gbass) (4x) C(Fbass) (4x) D(Gbass) (4x) C(Fbass) (4x) How long have we known each other now? Fifteen, twenty years maybe, and C (4x) A# (4x) certainly we've changed... and we'd C (4x) A# (4x) run into each other in the subterranean D (8x) world... C (8x) And before I knew you or before we met oh yes, way before then I was D (8x) itching in the cradle, making my way to the slime pits & the sludge traps F (8x) looking for love... and D (8x) all the bushy brats turned out from the western burgs C (8x) minced in the powdermills, noctambulating around D (8x) nowheresville D (8x) and some were so desperate for sleep the only retreat was the C (4x) A# (4x) F (4x) A# (4x) sad dormitory... yes, one would go for a rest (or a test?) D(Gbass) (4x) C(Fbass) (4x) D(Gbass) (4x) C(Fbass) (4x) How long have we known each other now? up to thirty years I guess, and C (4x) A# (4x) maybe we've changed... and C (4x) A# (4x) didn't we see each other in the subterranean D (8x) world? F (8x) You, did you really have your headress? - Hmmm.... yes I used to dress up D (8x) like a girl, and how did you ever make it back home? I... I... F (8x) I'd leave a trail of pearls. Did you ever see a doctor - or a priest? D (8x) oh yeah - a priest D (8x) do you remember the guy with the sign "the end is nigh"? That was F (8x) me (do you remember what was written on the back?) D (8x) and F (8x) Do remember the guy with a boxful of wind? or maybe it was a cassette D (8x) I don't really... I don't know either - or was it me? C (4x) A# (4x) F (4x) A# (4x) D (8x) F (8x) How long have we known each other now? I've never seen you in my life (forty years?) D (8x) F (8x) How long have we known each other now? I've never seen you in my life (fifty years) C (8x) A# (8x) How long have we known each other now? I've never seen you in my life (sixty, seventy, eighty three years) C (4x) A# (4x) I hope that we've changed... and C (4x) A# (4x) we've never seen each other in the subterranean A (8x) C (8x) D (finish) life...
