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:
S[D]itting by the window of this bro[Em]ken-down hotel,
Tr[D]ying to write a letter just to sh[Em]ow you that I'm well,
But I've been w[D]atching all the people as they cr[Em]oss the marketplace,
And th[D]ough there really is no reason, I've been l[Em]ooking for your face.
Chorus:
It's such a l[D]ong way [Bm] [Em] h[A]ome,
It's such a l[D]ong way [Bm] [Em] h[A]ome,
It's such a l[D]ong way.[Bm]..[Em][A]
Verse 2:
St[D]anding by the aeroplane she h[Em]eld me in her arms,
And then she wh[D]ispered "oh dear lord don't let him c[Em]ome to any harm"
And as we t[D]urned to fly away I saw her st[Em]anding on her own,
It seemed her h[D]and was waving not goodbye but[Em] "please come home".
Chorus:
It's such a l[D]ong way [Bm] [Em] h[A]ome,
It's such a l[D]ong way [Bm] [Em] h[A]ome,
It's such a l[D]ong way.[Bm]..[Em][A]
Bridge:
Oh s[G]o many people have to tr[F#m]avel away,
From the [Em]ones that they love and they n[D]eed,
But [G]I want to tell you that [F#m]all your life,
You c[Em]an depend on me.[A]
Verse 3:
F[D]ar away a saxophone l[Em]ingers on a tune,
And it's the k[D]ind of song that someone wrote for l[Em]overs and a moon,
And as the b[D]and begins to play it, with a sh[Em]ock I realize,
That it's a s[D]ong we sang together and it n[Em]early makes me cry.
Chorus:
It's such a l[D]ong way [Bm] [Em] [A]home,
It's such a l[D]ong way [Bm] [Em] [A]home,
It's such a l[D]ong way [Bm] [Em] such a l[A]ong way hom[G]e.[D]
