Tuning: E A D G B E

Artist: Bonnie Prince Billy (Will Oldham) Album: Ask Forgiveness Released: 2007 This song is a cover of "I Came To Hear The Music" by Mickey Newbury. Long Time First Time - I did my best to time it out and make it easy to follow, which means I could have done the exact opposite. There's alot more to this song than just these chords, but these should get you started. Obviously there's lots of picking and whathaveyou, but I've found that it sounds pretty just strumming and singing while you're bored, or trying to get some girl to take her clothes off.

^DI came to hear the ^Amusic, ^G ^GI came to hear the ^Dsound  D A G ………………………………………The music, ^GGod knows it brings me ^Ddown   ^Em…………………^A…… A long, long ^Droad………… ^Em…………………^A…………from now to ^Dthen…………  Em A D A ……………………………I know your song, sing it again

'Cause^G there's so many things I don't be^Bmlieve I understand  How th^Ge days turn into weeks, turn into ^Bmmonths G Bm  The year's become a moment in the ever changing sand G Bm A  D Did God make time to keep it all from happening at once? All at once ^DI came to love the ^Amusic ^G ^Gbefore I came to ^Dbe   D A G .......To know the music ^Gbefore it came to ^Dme

^Em………………A^A long long time ^Dago………… ^Em…………………^A………I don't know ^Dwhen…………  Em A D A ……………………………We sang a song, along with the wind 'Cause^G there's so many things I don't be^Bmlieve I understand  How th^Ge days turn into weeks, turn into ^Bmmonths G Bm  The year's become a moment in the ever changing sand G Bm A  D Did God make time to keep it all from happening at once? All at once D A……………. I came to be the music
