“Long Live” Taylor Swift- Happy Birthday!

 

Happy Birthday Taylor :) I found this Birthday video on YouTube and it’s really good!  I had tabbed “Long Live” years ago when Speak Now was released, and thought I had it posted here but apparently I didn’t. I knew I never posted it on UG because others beat me to it and were the same (basically), so it’s been in my chords vault all this time, lol!  Give it a play :)

STANDARD TUNING
NO CAPO

Intro-

   G  C  Em  D  C  -stop/mute

                      G                         
I say remember this moment 
                   C
In the back of my mind
 the time we stood with our 
  Em
Shaking hands
     D                     C
The crowds in stands went wild

 
                           G
We were the kings and the queens
                       C
And they read off our names 
 The night you danced like you 
 Em
Knew our lives
       D            C
Would never be the same
                            Em  
You held your head like a hero 
                   C
On a history book page
                     Em   D  
It was the end of a decade 
                    C   CCC-mute
But the start of an age


     G 
Long live 
                     C
The walls we crashed through
                       Em   
All the kingdom lights shined 
                   D
Just for me and you
 I was screaming, 
      G                     C
"Long live all the magic we made"
                           Em
And bring on all the pretenders
     C*                 G    -stop
One day we will be remembered


                        G      
I said remember this feeling 
                        C
I passed the pictures around
                          Em    
Of all the years that we stood there 
         D
On the sidelines
              C
Wishing for right now


                          G     
We are the kings and the queens 
 you traded your baseball cap 
         C
For a crown
                        Em     
When they gave us our trophies 
         D                 C
And we held them up for our town
                       Em      
And the cynics were outraged 
                        C
Screaming, "This is absurd!"
'cause for a moment 
    Em                D
A band of thieves in ripped up jeans
        C          CCCC
Got to rule the world


     G 
Long live 
                     C
The walls we crashed through
                       Em   
All the kingdom lights shined 
                   D
Just for me and you
 I was screaming, 
      G                      C
"Long live all the magic we made"
                           Em
And bring on all the pretenders
              D                
I'm not afraid
     G                           C
Long live all the mountains we moved
                     Em
I had the time of my life
                       D
Fighting dragons with you
 I was screaming, 
      G                      C
"Long live the look on your face"
                           Em
And bring on all the pretenders
      C                 G
One day we will be remembered


C           Em
Hold on to spinning around
   C     Em
Confetti falls to the ground
          C 
May these memories break our fall


                 G
And you take a moment
             C
Promise me this 
                            Em
That you'll stand by me forever
       D                           C
But if God forbid fate should step in
                        G
And force us into a goodbye
                         C
If you have children someday
                          Em    D
When they point to the pictures
                     C
Please tell them my name
                  C      C    C
Tell them how the crowds went wild
                D    D    D
Tell them how I hope they shine


     G* 
Long live 
                     C*
The walls we crashed through
                     Em*   
I had the time of my life 
     D 
With you
 
     G 
Long live 
                     C
The walls we crashed through
                       Em   
All the kingdom lights shined 
                   D
Just for me and you
 And I was screaming, 
      G                      C
"Long live all the magic we made"
                           Em
And bring on all the pretenders
            D                
I'm not afraid, singin'
     G                           C
Long live all the mountains we moved
                     Em
I had the time of my life
                       D
Fighting dragons with you, and
           G 
"Long long live 
                   C
That look on your face"
                           Em
And bring on all the pretenders
      C....-stop/mute                
One day 

We will be remembered.

Have fun!
