Darius Rucker – It Wont Be Like This For Long chords ver. 2

My first tab...I'm sure it is not exactly like the original song, but I mainly 
made this for ease if you are a new player just starting.

If you don't have a Capo you can play it without one, it just sounds a little different.

Capo on 2nd fret sounds best to me.


Verse 1
         C	      G        D                  EHe didn't have to stay up. He'd been up all night.
        C               G           D                  ELyin' there in bed and listenin' to his new born baby cry.
        C           G          D                     EHe makes a pot of coffee and splashes water on his face.
       C              G              D              GHis wife gives him a kiss and says, "it's gonna be ok."

       C               D        G             EThis phase is gonna fly by, so baby just hold on.
        C            D             G'Cause it won't be like this for long.

        C                   G               D                 EAnd when he drops her off at preschool she's clingin' to his leg.
      C                     G          D                EThe teacher peels her off of him. He says, "What can I do?"

       C               D           G             EThis phase is gonna fly by, if you can just hold on.

   C           D           GIt won't be like this for long.


That is the easiest and more accurate way to play the song in my opinion.  Let me 
know what you think.
