Long Journey Home

D                       G      D
If on every ocean the ship is a 
throne
   G              D                
And for each mast cut down another 
G          A
sapling is grown
    D                        G    
Then I could believe that I'm 
      D
bound to find
   G             D     A     D
A better life than I left behind

[Refrain]
G               D       B-
But as you ascend the ladder
  D                    A
Look out below where you tread
   D                     G
For the colors bled as they 
     D
overflowed
Continues after the ad
    G         D
Red, white and blue
    G          D
Green, white and gold

[Verse 2]
D                       G      D
So I had to leave from my country of
 birth
 G              D
As for each child grown tall
    G             A
Another lies in the earth
D                        G       
And for every rail we laid in the
   D
 loam
        G             D          
There's a thousand miles of the 
A          D
long journey home

[Refrain]
G               D       B-
But as you ascend the ladder
  D                    A
Look out below where you tread
   D                     G
For the colors bled as they 
     D
overflowed
    G         D
Red, white and blue
    G          D
Green, white and gold
