Fm       Eb
 Long ago
       Db          Cm
And oh so far away
          Bbm           Db
I fell in love with you
           Cm
Before the second show
 
 
Fm           Eb
Your guitar,
          Db                 Cm
It sounds so sweet and clear
               Bbm          Db
But you're not really there
              Cm
It's just the radio
 
 
Db                     Cm          Bbm      Ab
Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby?
Db                       Cm            Bbm   Ab
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby.
Db          Cm    Bbm      Ab
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby,
  Bbm         Fm
I love you, I really do.

Fm         Eb
Loneliness
          Db         Cm
Is such a sad affair
          Bbm          Db
And I can hardly wait
           Cm
To be with you again
 
Fm          Eb
What to say,
            Db          Cm
To make you come again?
             Bb        Db
Come back to me again,
              Cm
And play your sad guitar
 
 
Db                     Cm          Bbm      Ab
 
Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby?
Db                       Cm            Bbm   Ab
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby.
Db          Cm    Bbm      Ab
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby,
  Bbm         Db
I love you, I really do.
 
Db                     Cm          Bbm      Ab
Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby?
Db                       Cm            Bbm   Ab
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby.
Db          Cm    Bbm      Ab
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby,
  Bbm         Fm
I love you, I really do.
 
 
 
Ok, I play this song with a capo on the first fret and use the chords
Em, D, C, B and Am in the verses and C, B, Am, G, and Em in the
choruses. This seems to sound pretty close, but I think that Thurston
Moore tunes his guitars flat (Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb).

Though A# and Bb are the same fret, when written out you need to take the key into consideration when writing it out. That dude is a total tool though for trying to be an elitist prick.
