The chords I wrote here are for the acoustic version of
It's Such A Long Way Home of the album Home,
Though you can also play them along with the original.
Intro: D Em D Em A
Verse 1:
SDitting by the window of this broEmken-down hotel,
TrDying to write a letter just to shEmow you that I'm well,
But I've been wDatching all the people as they crEmoss the marketplace,
And thDough there really is no reason, I've been lEmooking for your face.
Chorus:
It's such a lDong way Bm Em hAome,
It's such a lDong way Bm Em hAome,
It's such a lDong way.Bm.. Em A
Verse 2:
StDanding by the aeroplane she hEmeld me in her arms,
And then she whDispered "oh dear lord don't let Emhim come to any harm"
And as we tDurned to fly away I saw her stEmanding on her own,
It seemed her hDand was waving not goodbye butEm "please come home".
Chorus:
It's such a lDong way Bm Em hAome,
It's such a lDong way Bm Em hAome,
It's such a lDong way.Bm.. Em A
Bridge:
Oh sGo many people have to trF#mavel away,
From the Emones that they love and they nDeed,
But GI want to tell you that F#mall your life,
You cEman depend on me.A
Verse 3:
FDar away a saxophone lEmingers on a tune,
And it's the kDind of song that someone wrote for lEmovers and a moon,
And as the bDand begins to play it, with a shEmock I realize,
That it's a sDong we sang together and it nEmearly makes me cry.
Chorus:
It's such a lDong way Bm Em Ahome,
It's such a lDong way Bm Em Ahome,
It's such a lDong way Bm Em such a lAong way homGe. D
