LONG WAY HOME (Tom Waits)/ Norah Jones
I watched a live video and this is how Norah Jones plays it. She hammers on the 2
string/fret on G and Em. Hammer on the 3 in C
capo on 2nd
VERSE 1:
[G]Well I stumbled in the darkness
I'm lost and alone
[G]Though I said I'd go before us
And show the way back [Em]home
There a [C]light up a[G]head
I can't hold on very [C]long
[G]Forgive me pretty baby but I [D]always take the long way [G]home
Pause
Money's just [G]something you throw
Off the back of a train
[G]Got a head full of lightning
A hat full of [Em]rain
And I [C]know that I [G]said
I'd never do it [C]again
[G]And I love you sweet baby but I a[D]lways take the long way h[G]ome
VERSE 3:
[G]I put food on the table
And roof overhead
[G]But I'd trade it all tomorrow
For the highway i[Em]nstead
Watch your [C]back, keep your eyes shut [G]tight
Your love's the only thing I've ever [C]known
One thing for [G]sure pretty baby I [D]always take the long way [G]home
BRIDGE:
[D]mmmmm, m[C]mmmm, [G]mmmmm, [C]mmmmm[D]
VERSE 4:
[G]You know I love you baby
More than the whole wide world
[G]You are my woman
I know you are my [Em]pearl
Let's go [C]out past the party [G]lights
Where we can finally be [C]alone
Come with [G]me...and [D]we can take the long way [G]home
Mm mm [C]mmm, come with [G]me, together [D]we can take the long way [G]home
Mm mm [C]mmm, come with [G]me, together [D]we can take the long way [G]home
