  35 I sang the song slowly
  36    E6               A
  37 As she stood in the shadows
  38     D/f#
  39 She stepped to the light
  40       E6             A
  41 As my silver strings spun
  42     A               E
  43 She called with her eyes
  44        D          A
  45 To the tune I's a-playin'
  46         A       Asus4
  47 But the song it was long
  48         E6
  49 And I'd only begun

  64 Through a bullet of light
  65 Her face was reflectin'
  66 The fast fading words
  67 That rolled from my tongue
  68 With a long-distance look
  69 Her eyes was on fire
  70 But the song it was long
  71 And there was more to be sung.
  72
  73 My eyes danced a circle
  74 Across her clear outline
  75 With her head tilted sideways
  76 She called me again
  77 As the tune drifted out
  78 She breathed hard through the echo
  79 But the song it was long
  80 And it was far to the end
  81
  82 I glanced at my guitar
  83 And played it pretendin'
  84 That of all the eyes out there
  85 I could see none
  86 As her thoughts pounded hard
  87 Like the pierce of an arrow
  88 But the song it was long
  89 And it had to get done
  90
  91 As the tune finally folded
  92 I laid down the guitar
  93 Then looked for the girl
  94 Who'd stayed for so long
  95 But her shadow was missin'
  96 For all of my searchin'
  97 So I picked up my guitar
  98 And began the next song
