🎸 Long Time Gone chords by The Everly Brothers

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Studio version from "Songs Our Daddy Taught Us"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

It?s difficult to hear the guitar(s ?) clearly. I finally came up with this
here, which is at least close, playable and sounds good:

?RIFF?
capo 2nd fret
 D
 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
e|----5-2-----3-2-|----5-2-----3---|
B|3-3-3-3---3-3-3-|3-3-3-3---3-3---|
G|2-2-2---0-0-----|2-2-2---0-0-0---|
D|0-------0-------|0-------0-------|
A|-------h2-------|-------h2-------|
E|----------------|----------------|

I use a regular D-shape and use the pinky to play the short note on the 5th
fret, e-string (one gets used to it very quickly). This ?RIFF? is played
throughout the song with minor variations whenever there is a D chord.

Phil plays regular chords here. The 2nd guitar (Don) uses a capo 2nd fret
and plays a slim version of the ?riff? from the studio version during intro
and outro, the interludes and generally whenever there is an E in the
verses. During the rest of the song Don just doubles Phil?s chords playing
a different inversion. The C chord from the studio version is left out and
some other changes are added.

These are the chords for the capoed guitar (see studio version above):

E = D (play the ?riff? above)
B = A
A = G
