Some Things Last A Long Time Chords

   
My version, transcribed from piano to guitar.  The other versions were close but not close enough.

Chords(low to high):
Am        C/G      Dsus2    Barre F   Easy F    Barre G   Easy G   C
-02210    332010   -00230   133211    -33211    355433    320033   -32010
                     (The F's and G's are interchangeable)


Each verse is separated into three little bits. The first bit, which is mostly two 
lines of lyrics, goes like this (as does the intro and between-verse bits):


      (Am C/G Dsus2 F)Repeat on rhythm
Your picture is still on my wall, on my wall 

The colors are bright, bright as ever 



And then the next bit, which is one line, is the same chords, but slower.

Am     C/F        Dsus2   F
Red is strong and blue is pure


And then comes the chorus, which has slightly different chords:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/daniel_johnston/some_things_last_a_long_time_crd_ver_4.html ]
G           F           C
Some things last a long time 
G           F           C
Some things last a long time


And thats the whole song! The chords repeat that pattern over every verse. Now 
here are the lyrics, for your enjoyment:

Your picture is still on my wall, on my wall 
The colors are bright, bright as ever 
Red is strong and blue is pure 
Some things last a long time 
Some things last a long time 

Your picture is still on my wall, on my wall 
I think about you often, often 
I won't forget all the things we did 
Some things last a long time 
Some things last a long time 

It's funny, but it's true 
And it's true, but it's not funny 
Time comes and goes 
All of the while, I still think about you 
Some things last a long time 

Your picture is still on my wall, on my wall 
The colors are bright, bright as ever 
the things we did i canīt forget
Some things last a lifetime
Some things last a lifetime
Some things last a lifetime
