Last ^Gnight I stood at your doorstep Trying to figure out what went wrong You just ^Emslipped somethin' into my palm, then you were gone ^G, ^D I could smell the ^Gsame deep green of summer Above me the same night sky was glowin' In the ^Emdistance I could see the town where I was born ^G, ^D

It's gonna be a ^Glong walk home Hey pretty darling, don't wait up for me Gonna be a ^Emlong walk home A ^Glong walk home ^D

In town I passed Sal's grocery The barbershop on South Street I looked in their faces* They were all rank strangers to me* The veteran's hall high upon the hill Stood silent and alone The diner was shuttered and boarded With a sign that just said \"gone\"

^DHere everybody has a neighbor Every ^Cbody has a friend Every ^Dbody has a reason to begin a ^Cgain ^D My father said \"Son, we're lucky in this town, It's a beautiful place to be born. It just wraps its arms around you, Nobody crowds you and nobody goes it alone You know that flag flying over the courthouse Means certain things are set in stone Who we are, what we'll do and what we won't\"

It's gonna be a ^Glong walk home Hey pretty darling, don't wait up for me Gonna be a ^Emlong walk home Hey pretty darling, don't wait up for me Gonna be a ^Clong walk home It's gonna be a ^Glong walk home ^D It's gonna be a ^Glong walk home Hey pretty darling, don't wait up for me Gonna be a ^Emlong walk home Hey pretty darling, don't wait up for me Gonna be a ^Clong walk home It's gonna be a ^Glong walk home ^D It's gonna be a ^Glong walk home
