verse 1: 
                 G 
Bought my ticket, took that bus 
F       G       C 
One cold Monday morning 
                       G 
Mid-September, Nineteen-Sixty-Three, I 
F       G           C 
Paid no heed to the warning 
                                G 
But they said, don't go too far out from here 
     F        G     C 
It's twice as far returning 
                                G 
Looking back I could see nothing for the smoke 
        F        G     C 
From the bridges I was burning 

 
           F             Em            G      Am 
And it's a long way back down to where I come from 
            F             C  G 
And I've got nothing to forget 
          C                    F        C 
There's a list of things here I have to do 
        Dm      G       C   G-C-G-F    C  G-C-G-F 
And I've hardly started yet 



verse 2: 
               C                           G 
Well, I've been close to trouble, I've been close to death 
          F        G         C 
I've been close to some fine women 
                          G 
There are places where I'm always welcome and 
F                   G           C 
Some where they say, "Don't let him in" 
                         G 
But I've spent my time in company 
        F         G       C 
That was faithful and was trying 
                              G 
Like that black-eyed girl from Birmingham 
        F            G     C 
Who was with me when I was crying 

 
           F             Em            G      Am 
And it's a long way back down to where I come from 
            F             C  G 
And I've got nothing to forget 
          C                    F        C 
There's a list of things here I have to do 
        Dm      G       C   G-C-G-F 
And I've hardly started yet 
                    C   G-C-G-F 
I've hardly started yet 



verse 3: 
               C                    G 
Ohh well, I've spent my time working for the day 
           F          G      C 
When I can leave this joke behind me 
                           G 
And I don't need you making token gestures 
     F     G    C 
That casually remind me 
                              G 
That I'm stuck out here at the break of dawn 
       F     G      C 
With my faculties diminished 
                                     G 
That little Hazel has to wait, but it won't be long 
       F        G        C 
'Til I get this damn song finished 

 
           F             Em            G      Am 
And it's a long way back down to where I come from 
            F             C  G 
And I've got nothing to forget 
              C                    F        C 
But there's a list of things here I have to do 
        Dm      G       C   G-C-G-F 
And I've hardly started yet 
                    C   G-C-G-F 
I've hardly started yet 
                    C   G-C-G-F 
I've hardly started yet 
                    C   G-C-G-F 
I've hardly started yet
