Longer
View chords used in this chart
which just means you tune the top and bottom strings (E's) down to D.
Fogelberg uses an open G tuning , which is almost the same (you just also tune
the A down to G....sorry if you know all this already). I had already figured
out this version before I realized he used open G, but it's close enough
that I never bothered relearning it.
Enjoy,

LONGER -- Dan Fogelberg
Here's the bridge...don't forget E strings are dropped to D
(although you don't really use them in this part..you could
play this in standard tuning)
Repeat this part 3 times:
I'll bring fire in the winter (1)
You'll send showers in the spring (2)
We'll fly thru the falls & summers (3)
