Its Such A Long Way Home

Intro: D  Em  D  Em  A

Verse 1:
 D                           
Sitting by the window of this 
    Em
broken-down hotel,
  D                             
Trying to write a letter just to 
   Em
show you that I'm well,
               D              
But I've been watching all the 
                  Em
people as they cross the 
marketplace,
      D                      
And though there really is no 
                    Em
reason, I've been looking for your 
face.

Chorus:
             D       Bm  Em  A
It's such a long way        home,
             D       Bm  Em  A
It's such a long way        home,
             D       Bm  Em  A
It's such a long way...

Verse 2:
  D                            Em
Standing by the aeroplane she held 
me in her arms,
Continúa después del anuncio
               D                   
And then she whispered "oh dear 
                 Em
lord don't let him come to any harm"
           D                       
And as we turned to fly away I saw 
      Em
her standing on her own,
               D                 
It seemed her hand was waving not 
            Em
goodbye but "please come home".

Chorus:
             D       Bm  Em  A
It's such a long way        home,
             D       Bm  Em  A
It's such a long way        home,
             D       Bm  Em  A
It's such a long way...

Bridge:
    G                       F#m
Oh so many people have to travel 
away,
         Em                     
From the ones that they love and 
       D
they need,
    G                       F#m
But I want to tell you that all your
 life,
     Em              A
You can depend on me.

Verse 3:
 D                    Em
Far away a saxophone lingers on a 
tune,
              D               
And it's the kind of song that 
                    Em
someone wrote for lovers and a moon,
            D                      
And as the band begins to play it, 
         Em
with a shock I realize,
             D                   
That it's a song we sang together 
         Em
and it nearly makes me cry.

Chorus:
             D       Bm  Em  A
It's such a long way         home,
             D       Bm  Em  A
It's such a long way         home,
             D       Bm  Em      
It's such a long way         such
    A          G   D
 a long way home.
