Tuning: E A D G B E

[Intro] G D G [Verse 1]

^GWell, she looked so small She ^Dlooked so frail It was ^Clike the world forgot her As she ^Bmstood outside the jail

[Verse 2]

They ^Gsit and stare They ^Drarely speak She ^Ccomes to see him The same ^Bmtime every week

[Verse 3]

And never ^Gwants to leave But she ^Dknows she must Then the ^Cyellow cab comes right on time And ^Bmscoops her up like a ^Dspeck of dust

[Chorus]

When it’s ^Ctime ^Dto go ^Ghome It’s ^Ctime ^Gto go ^Amhome ^C Where the night stays ^Dtoo long ^B7 In a world that’s ^Emjust gone wrong It’s ^Ctime ^Dto go ^Ghome

[Verse 4]

^GHow did one summer Become ^Dnineteen years? The A^Claskan winters took their toll And ^Bmthen they made it clear

[Verse 5]

The ^Ggillnets and seiners The ^Dsalmon and crab The ^Cdull-eyed girls of Ketchikan That ^Bmtook all that I had

[Verse 6]

I could ^Gsell the boat Cash the ^Dwhole thing down Move ^Cback to the Forty-Eight Just tell ^Bmstories back in ^Dthat small town

[Chorus]

When it’s ^Ctime ^Dto go ^Ghome It’s ^Ctime ^Gto go ^Amhome ^C Where the night stays ^Dtoo long ^B7 In a world that’s ^Emjust gone wrong It’s ^Ctime ^Dto go ^Ghome

[Verse 7]

^GWell, your t-shirt’s clean Like your ^Ddungarees And in ^Ctwo days you will be On your ^Bmway overseas

[Verse 8]

Sit ^Gon the bed With a ^Dwarm six-pack Ah, it’s ^Cnot like how they said But it’s ^Bmtoo late now to take it back

[Verse 9]

So you ^Gmake some calls But ^Dno one’s home You ^Cnurse your beers And spend the ^Bmlong night by the ^Dtelephone

[Chorus]

When it’s ^Ctime ^Dto go ^Ghome It’s ^Ctime ^Gto go ^Amhome ^C Where the night stays ^Dtoo long ^B7 In a world that’s ^Emjust gone wrong It’s ^Ctime ^Dto go ^Ghome
