Chords for Billy Joel - The Longest Time (Live) 1984

_ _ _ _ [Abm] Uh, let's see.
Oh, I know what we're gonna do now.
We're gonna [G] do a song.
It's acapella [N] style singing.
_ Now _ _ [G] we got to be pretty good at this.
I was supposed to be in school at the time.
Yeah, _ right.
You know? _
[C] You know what I mean?
[N] So we used to hang out in the corner.
Brooklyn [E] and Queens.
You _
[Eb] _ _ [G] _ _ know, [N] and we would like sing.
Like songs, you know?
I will give you an [G] example. _ _
Okay.
Uh, I'll give you a little piece of something we used to do.
Give me an F.
[Fm] _ _ Yo, you worry about_
See the drummer here?
His wife's having a baby [Gm] right now.
_ What _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] is he doing here, right?
_ _ [G] _ [Ab] This is for me.
This is for the diapers.
That's what this is for.
_ _ [Fm] Now, it's any minute.
[Db] So we'll let you know if anything happens.
Oh, wow, man.
Like Woodstock.
_ [Ab] Wow, we had a baby born.
It's a nation.
Not right here with that.
Anyway, give me that.
_ _ Okay. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ [A] _ [F] _ _ [Cm] _ [A] _ [Bb] _ _
_ [Ab] Just like yours for [G] me. _ _
_ _ _ In _ _ _ the _ _ _ [Ab] end.
[Gm]
Just go to the end.
_ What's your _ _ name?
_ _ [Eb] _ _ What's your [Cm] _ _ name?
_ _ [G] _
_ _ [C] Shuddupapada
_ [B] _ _ [N]
That's an example of what we used to do. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Do
One, two, one, two, three, four. _
[Gbm] _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [G] Goodbye to me [Ab] tonight.
[D] There [F] will still [A] be music left [Am] to write.
[Gb]
[Bm] What else could I do?
[Gbm] I'm so [D] inspired [G] by you.
[Em] That hasn't happened [A] for the longest [D] time.
[Gb] Once I thought [G] my innocence was [B] [Db] gone.
Now [B] I [F] know [Fm] that [C] happiness goes [F] on.
That's [B] where you found [Ab] me.
When you [Dm] put your arms around me.
[Eb] I [E] haven't been there [A] for the longest time.
_ [Gb]
Whoa, _ [Gm] _ _ [B] for the [D] longest time.
[Gb] Whoa, [Gm] _ _ [A] for the longest [Db] time.
That [Fm] voice [C] you're hearing in the hall.
[F] And the [Ab] greatest [A] miracle of [Gb] all.
Is how I need [Ab] you.
And [Bb] how you needed [G] me too.
That hasn't [E] happened [Am] for the [D] longest time.
[Am] Maybe [A] this [B] won't last [Gb] very long.
[Dbm] But [Db] you feel so right.
[D] I could be [Db] wrong. _
Maybe [Bm] I've been [Gb] hoping too [Ebm] hard.
[Em] I've come this [Eb] far.
[C] And it's more [F] than I hoped [Db] for.
Who [Gb] knows [Ab] how [G] much further [Bb] we'll go on.
[Ab] Maybe I'll be sorry when we're [C] gone.
[F] I'll take [B] my chances.
[Db] I forgot how nice our match [Gb] is.
But I haven't been there for [Am] the [A] longest time.
[D] [Db] Whoa, _ _ [G] _ [Gb] for the longest time.
_ Whoa, [F] for [D] the longest time.
The longest, [Fm] longest, [Bbm] longest, longest [Eb] time!
For the longest time.
For the [Bb] longest, longest [Bbm] time.
[Dbm] For the longest time, yeah, [Bbm] yeah, yeah. Oh, [Dbm] oh. Oh.
