G DG Last night I stood at your doorstep Trying to figure out what went wrongEm7 You just slipped somethin' into my palmG D Then you were goneG I could smell the same deep green of summer Above me the same night sky was glowin'Em7 In the distance I could see theG D town where I was bornG It's gonna be a long walk home Hey pretty Darling, don't wait up for meEm7 Gonna be a long walk homeG D A long walk homeG In town I passed Sal's grocery The barbershop on South StreetEm7 I looked into their facesContinues after the adG D They were all rank strangers to meG The veterans' hall high up on the hill Stood silent and aloneEm7 The diner was shuttered and boardedG D With a sign that just said "gone"G It's gonna be a long walk home Hey pretty Darling, don't wait up for meEm7 Gonna be a long walk home Hey pretty Darling, don't wait up for meCsus9 Gonna be a long walk homeG D It's gonna be a long walk homeInstrumental: G Em7 GD 2xD Here everybody has a neighborAm Everybody has a friendD Csus9 D Everybody has a reason to begin againG My father said "Son, we're lucky in this town It's a beautiful place to be bornEm7 It just wraps its arms around youG D Nobody crowds you, nobody goes it alone.G That you know flag flying over the courthouse Means certain things are set in stoneEm7 G D Who we are, what we'll do and what we won't."G It's gonna be a long walk home Hey pretty Darling, don't wait up for meEm7 Gonna be a long walk home Hey pretty Darling, don't wait up for meCsus9 Gonna be a long walk homeG D It's gonna be a long walk home Outro: G Em7 G
