Long Long Road (v1) (E Major)
Artist: Ringo Starr    Genre: Country    Tempo: 118bpd    Roman Numerals: I, Isus4, ii, IV, V    Instrument: Guitar - Standard Tuning [E,A,D,G,B,E]   
Song Notes:  
Video: Recording @ YouTube

You can play this one in Dmag with Capo 2 or in Emag with a nice country swing.

Ringo Starr's title track closes his 22nd solo album, released April 24, 2026 — his third country/Americana record and second straight collaboration with producer T Bone Burnett. Featuring Sheryl Crow on backing vocals, the song carries Hank Williams intonations with Ringo offering reflective, philosophical wisdom. The title is simply autobiographical — "I'm calling it *Long Long Road* because I've been on a long long road."
