Long Way Home

	  		
Intro G  C  D 
        Em  D  Em  G 

G 
It's a long way home 
   C 
He couldn't see too well 
    D                 Em 
His left eye was shot out in the war 
        D 
And the other one was getting 
   Em 
So tired of watching 
Bm 
 All of the time 
            Bm                    C 
It's hard enough keep awake and alive 
             G 
On this cold day 
   G 
As far as he knows 
          C 
It's gonna take four days 
        D                       Em 
For the man to catch up with the mile 
            D 
And there's nothing that 
               Em 
Could ever be smiling 
           Bm               C 
Quite like death at the door 
   Bm                             C 
He never thought that he would be poor 
            G 
Like that again 
Am     D 
   Oooh 
        Em 
He had a day dream 
      Em 
And a real need for a cigarette 
Am     D 
   Oooh 
              G 
The birds are falling 
            B 
And it will dark soon 
      C             D              Em 
So he told his boots... to carry on 

( G  C  D  Em  G )  

     G 
On a granite stone 
          C 
He didn't sleep too well 
           D 
He had her name at the edge 
       Em 
Of his tongue 
       D 
He made love to this memory 
    Em              G 
It stung him in the dark 
G                  C 
Morning came and it ate his heart 
        D                     Em 
And the sun shot holes in his mind 
          D 
Oh but the thunder 
              Em 
Of the river behind him 
              B               C 
It brought him up to his knees 
       Bm                        C 
And he prayed hard enough to say please 
           G 
Against his odds 
Am     D 
   Oooh 
        Em 
He had a day dream 
     Em 
And a real need for a cigarette 
Am     D 
   Oooh 
           G 
The moon is calling 
               B 
And it will be dark soon 
      C             D            Em 
So he told his boots... To carry on
