Long Way Back Home

[INTRO:] C

[VERSE 1:]
From the railhead to the boatyard, 
                        F
from the factory to the farm
                     G             
From the mine to the mill-yard, 
                C
I've weathered the storm
From the bar room to the bedpost, 
               F
I've wasted my days
                 C                 
All I have is my drink and the time
         G
 left to think
                      C
While the time slips away


[CHORUS:]
                Dm    G        
Just look at my face___ when you 
              C
tell me goodbye
                    Em           
You'll see what I'm after, by the 
            Dm   Em
look in my eye
           F                 G
Just walk away and leave me alone
                     C
It's a long way back home

[VERSE 2:]
Now in case you should ask me, what 
                F
it is that I've done
            G                      
I say I'm a soldier who once had a 
C
son
But my son doesn't know me, that's 
             F
his right to choose
                C                  
Oh, say can you see, my best friend
    G
 is me
                     C
I'm a friend I could use


[CHORUS:]
                Dm    G        
Just look at my face___ when you 
              C
tell me goodbye
                    Em           
You'll see what I'm after, by the 
            Dm   Em
look in my eye
           F                 G
Just walk away and leave me alone
                     C
It's a long way back home


[VERSE 3:]
Now the pages have faded, the story 
      F
grows cold
                      G            
And the plot falls to ashes like 
           C
the ruins of old
Those rats in my rafters, they're 
         F
after my shoes
             C                     
And anything else they can find on 
    G
the shelf
                     C
I've said they could use


[CHORUS:]
                Dm    G        
Just look at my face___ when you 
              C
tell me goodbye
                    Em           
You'll see what I'm after, by the 
            Dm   Em
look in my eye
           F                 G
Just walk away and leave me alone
                     C
It's a long way back home
