[Gm][G][C][G][D][G][C][G][D]
[Gm]
Walking [G]down the main [D]street Of the

[Verse 1]
[Em]
town where I [D]was born
[G]Looking at these things I[D]'ve seen
So [Em]many times [C]before
[Gm]I take a deep breath, smil[D]e
And kick a [Em]stone along the [C]ground
[G]Been so long,
[D]since I've been around
[Gm]

[Verse 2]
[G]
There's comfort in the way
[D]That everything sti[Em]ll looks the[D] same
[G]People that I bump int[D]o
They [Em]call me by my [C]name
[G]It almost feels as [D]though
I never [Em]even left [C]this town
[Gm]Been so long,
[D]since I've been around
[Gm]

[Verse 3]
My girlfriend lived on [D]Hawdon Street
[Em]Man was she a si[D]ght
[Gm]Sometime[G]s I wo[D]uld sneak
Into her [Em]bedroom [C]late at night
Now [G]she's not there
I'm [D]told her family
[Em]Long since left [C]the town
[G]Been so long,
[D]since I've been [G]around[Gm]

[Verse 4]
Yeah [Gm]many of my friends found
[D]Some other [Em]place they'd rather [D]be
[G]But I still know of one goo[D]d mate,
She gonna [Em]keep me company
[C]I thi[G]nk I'm gonna call her up,[D]
We'll [Em]go and paint [C]the town
[G]Been so long, [D]since I've [Gm]been around

[Verse 5]
[G]I stopped on by [D]her place,
[Em]Years ago I knew [D]her well
[G]Let's go drink to old times
[D]At the Adelaide Hot[Em]el[C]
She said [G]it's twenty years [D]now
Since they [Em]shut that old pub [C]down
[G]Been so long,
[D]since I've been [Gm]around
[G]Yeah but the

[Verse 6]
hospital's still [D]standing,
Down over [Em]by the river s[D]hore
That's the [G]place where I took my
First [D]breath, so [Em]many years [C]before
[G]I take a deep bre[D]ath now and feel
My chest [Em]begin to [C]pound
[G]Been so long, [D]since I've been around

[Verse 7]
Now I'm [Gm]lying by the [D]river
Feeling [Em]lazy in [D]the shade
[Gm]Children shout and splas[D]h about
In [Em]water where [C]I played
And I'm [G]thinking I could stay a [D]while,
[Em]Maybe settle [C]down
