     E              A7 
This mornin' when I woke, 
      E               A7 
You'd gone and left a note. 
     E                               B7 
Said you'd be at your mother's for a while. 
E           A7 
 I finished work, 
    E                 A7 
And called you on the phone, 
F#m             B7       E    A7  E           
Then I took the long way home. 
 
 
 
  E                 A7 
I read your list of jobs, 
         E                A7 
Wash the dishes, walk the dog. 
E                             B7 
 I'll get around to them real soon. 
    E              A7 
You said we needed bread, 
          E             A7 
I hit the tackle shop instead. 
F#m             B7       E    A7  E 
Then I took the long way home. 
 
 
               A7 
I'm taking the long way home, 
E 
I ain't in no hurry. 
    A7  
The fish is out, the cat's been fed, 
    B7      C7      B7 
And I don't have to worry 
      A7                      E            A7 
'Bout bein' on a promise that I've already blown, 
         F#m                  B7       E    A7  E 
'Cause tonight I'm takin' the long way home. 
 
 
       E             A7 
Called in to my mate Stu, 
   E               A7 
To sample his home brew. 
  E                                 B7 
Before too long we started rambling on. 
     E           A7 
Well I got up to leave, 
        E                A7 
But his wife she took my keys. 
F#m        B7       E    A7  E 
Sure was a long way home. 
 
 
               A7 
I'm taking the long way home, 
E 
I ain't in no hurry. 
    A7            
The bird is out, the cat's been fed, 
    B7      C7      B7 
And I don't have to worry 
      A7                      E            A7 
'Bout bein' on a promise that I've already blown, 
         F#m                  B7       E    A7  E 
'Cause tonight I'm takin' the long way home.

       E                 A7 
Well I checked my answer phone, 
         E              A7 
You said you was comin' home. 
  E                              B7 
I thought I had till Sunday afternoon. 
  E              A7 
I haven't done a thing, 
          E                 A7 
And I can feel that rolling pin. 
F#m               B7       E    A7  E 
 I might take the long way home. 
 
 
               A7 
I'm taking the long way home, 
E 
I ain't in no hurry. 
    A7  
The dog is out, the cat's been fed,

'Bout bein' on a promise that I've already blown, 
         F#m                  B7 
'Cause tonight I'm takin' the long way, 
Dbm               A7 
Might just be the wrong way, 
  F#m                  B7       E    A7  E  A7  B7  E 
Tonight I'm takin' the long way home.
