Intro:
Pick out a D and hit low E on second and
third frets (helps to catch it with the
thumb)…pretty random pickin’ on the intro,
you can strum D if you want…didn’t Go that far into detail.
Verse 1: (During the verses, play a G5 softly
or palm mute it)
Well I love her and she’s leaving
She met a man, plays in a band, last weekend
And he lives out on the west coast
She says she’s gotta Go
Chorus:
D G A D
But it’s a long, long way from Myrtle Beach to L.А.
D G A
Anything could change her mind
D G A Bm
One sunset or one regret
G A
She could turn around, come back, and be mine
G A D
Happy endings happen all the time
Verse 2:
She’s almost finished packing
It’s over 2,000 miles- a lot can happen
There’s gonna be days and days of long stretches
Maybe she’ll come back to her senses
REPEAT CHORUS: (except on this last line, Go back to G5 on “time”)…
G A G5
Happy endings happen all the time
…and keep it going through this whole small 3rd verse.
Well I ain’t waitin’ on no phonecall
I ain’t gettin’ my hopes up at all
And I ain’t settin’ myself up for a fall
REPEAT CHORUS (palm muted until “one sunset”)
G A
Then everything would be just fine
G A D
Happy endings happen all the time
SOFTLY WITН G5 AND FADЕ OUT WHEN “MYRTLЕ” STARTS:
Oooo yeah they Do
It’s a long, long way from Myrtle Beach to L.А.
