Long Way Back Home Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
From the railhead to the [D]boatyard
From the factory to the [G]farm
From the mine to the [A]mill yard
I've weathered the storm
[D]

[Verse 2]
From the bar room to the bedpost
I've wasted [G]my days,
all I have is my [D]drink
And the time left [A]to think
While time slips [D]away

[Verse 3]
Just look at my [C]face[Em][A]
When you tell me good[D]bye
You'll see what I'm [F#m]after
By the look in [Em]my eye

[Verse 4]
[F#m]Just walk away a[G]nd leave me alone[A]
It's a long way back [D]home

[Verse 5]
Now in case you [D]should ask me
What it is that I've [G]done
I'd say I'm a [A]soldier
Who once had a son
[D]

[Verse 6]
But my son doesn't know me
That's his right [G]to choose
Oh say, can [D]you see?
My best friend is [A]me
I'm a friend I could [D]use

[Verse 7]
Just look at my [C]face[Em][A]
When you tell me good[D]bye
You'll see what I'm [F#m]after
By the look in my [Em]eye

[Verse 8]
[F#m]Just walk away a[G]nd leave me alone[A]
It's a long way back [D]home

[Verse 9]
Now the pages [D]have faded
The story grows [G]cold
And the plot falls to [A]ashes
Like the ruins of [D]old

[Verse 10]
Those rats in my [D]rafters
They're after my [G]shoes
And anything [D]else they can
find on [A]the shelf
I've said they could [D]use

[Verse 11]
And just look at my [C]face[Em][A]
When you tell me good[D]bye
You'll see what I'm [F#m]after
By the look in [Em]my ey[F#m]e

[Verse 12]
Just walk [G]away and leave me [A]alone
It's a long way back [D]home
It's a long way back home
