as long as you don’t come back
AS LONG AS YOU DON'T COME BACK (UNRELEASED VERSION) (CAPO 1ST FRET)
Play G chords as 320003 while alternating hammer on/pull off of index finger on 5th string,
1st fret in verses as such: 320003...320013...320003
Play G as 320033 in the Chorus and Bridge.
Also alternate index finger on 5th string, 1st fret for the Am chords at the end of the line,
"But why would I do that?" 002200...002210...002200...002210
I feel like there may be very slight variations to a couple of the chords in this song.
But these chords are (what I think are) just about completely accurate.
