Intro: Em7   A/E      Em7   A/E 


 
Em9                          Am7 
    I've been on this lonely road so long 
Em9          Em/D                C#m7/5- 
    Does any body know where it goes 
Cmaj7  Bm7        Am7 
I re   member the last time 
    Bm7           Cmaj7        F#     B7sus4  B7 
The signs pointed home a month ago 


  
Em9                       Am7 
    Rented cars and empty motel rooms 
Em9          Em/D           C#m7/5- 
    Lead you everywhere but home 
Cmaj7      Bm7     Am7 
Crowds of people shouting 
     Bm7           C 
How they love the show 
           D 
They don't know 

  
Em7              A 
    The endless crowds of faces 
Em7               A 
    Just keep on wearing a smile 
Em7               A                Cmaj9 
   The countless times and places lead me back 
       Bm7 
Please take me back

home    oo  oo oo 


  
Em9                            Am7 
    I wonder if these feelings ever change 
Em9           Em/D                 C#m7/5- 
     How many times I'll lift this load 
Cmaj7   Bm7    Am7          Bm7 
Come to morrow I'll be gone again 
Cmaj7    Bm7     Am7          Bm7 
Roads of sorrows coming to an end for 
|Em7      |A        |Em9       |A 
 me  -    -ee        -ee       -ee 

Em7             A 
   The endless crowds of faces 
Em7              A 
   Just keep on wearing a smile 
Em7               A                Cmaj9 
   The countless times and places lead me back 
       Bm7 
Please take me back
