  ---()--- 
 
Intro - G - D = 4x's 
 
 
(verse 1) 
 G                D       
Never mind the struggle,   
       G                  D 
Never mind these tears I cry, 
           G                  D       
Through it all I will stay humble,  
      G               A 
AS I keep a watchful eye, 
           Bm      A          G    A   
For that sweeter change of fortune,  
              G  
That's closer now than it's been, 
          Bm     A         G      A  
Where the, memories that haunt me,  
                  G 
are gonna someday be my friend 
           D              Asus-A               G - D - G - D 
When that long strtch of lonesome comes to an end, 
 
 
(verse 2) 
    G           D          G             D 
On some crazy river but I still have control, 
       G           D                G                 A      
And I will not surrender I'll stay true to heart and soul, 
           Bm                               G   
There's a sea of love awaiting Down at the river's end, 
Bm                          G  
There I'll drown my sorrow there I'll live again, 
           D               Asus-A              G - D - G - D 
When that long stretch of lonesome come to an end, 
 
 
(chorus) 
               A                        G                 D 
Oh when that long stretch of lonesome finally comes to an end, 
             A                       G                 A     
My heart belonging to someone it'll never be longing again, 
          Bm                                 G  
And the shadows that have dogged me Since I can't remember when, 
  Bm                           G    
Finally give quarter to the sunlight on my skin, 
            D                A                 G  - D  - G - D         
When that long stretch of lonesome comes to an end,

(verse 3) 
          Bm                                 G  
And the shadows that have dogged me since I can't remember when, 
   Bm                          G     
Finally give quarter to the sunlight on my skin, 
            D               A        
When that long stretch of lonesome,  
          Bm               G  
When that long stretch of lonesome, 
           D                 A                 G  - D - G - D = 4x's 
When that long stretch of lonesome comes to an end,
