She peeled from a stretch black snake which slipped up from the hotel door. Darting looks from piercing eyes — The stir of memory and then no more. Well, you know how I have to believe — She can almost remember my name. (Chorus) It's been a long time coming, babe — Long time loose amongst foreign hills — Shaking my faith in this free will. Years ago in a coastal town, mosquitoes buzzed in her hair. Schooldress torn and bare feet brown — Then the rains came and she wasn't there. You're closing your doors on me when you had almost remembered my name. It's been a long time coming, babe — Long time loose amongst foreign hills — Shaking my faith in this free will. Sharp points in an ink—black sky — Faint words collide, then are lost. I'll follow you beneath this dome — Win you back at any cost. I know we were children then, but you can almost remember me name. It's been a long time coming, babe — Long time loss amongst foreign hills — Well, let's be children, still — Don't shake my faith in this free will. Don't shake my faith in this free will. With those lyrics I have just wasted all your printer ink. Sorry, but I had to put them on this. I think the lyric's starting progression is E——F#m and that's all I can figure out. So if you know the rest of the chords, please tell me.
