How Long Gone Brooks & Dunn Notes: You better have your bar chords down for this one. I supose you could use a capo, but I don't think it would be any better. The walk down in the chorus is best played with an E-bar. Start in the 6th fret (Bb), move to the 5th (Am), 3rd fret (Gm), finally the first (F). The intro is fairly simple, but hard to explain. If you played a D chord in the 5th fret it would be an F. (XXX565) I'll put the three chords up that are in the intro, you can figure out the rhythm. It is only played on the high E and B strings (1&2) Here they are(XXXX65), (XXXX63), (XXXX66), (XXXX65) The chord notation goes as follows: (EADGBE). Good luck!
