Capo 3rd Fret
Intro: G D
Last [G]night I stood at your doorstep
Trying to figure out what went wrong
You just [Em7]slipped somethin' into my palm
Then you were gone[G][D]
I could smell the [G]same deep green of summer
Above me the same night sky was glowin'
In the [Em7]distance I could see the town where I was born[G][D]
It's gonna be a [G]long walk home
Hey pretty Darling, don't wait up for me
Gonna be a [Em7]long walk home
A [G]long walk home[D]
In [G]town I passed Sal's grocery
The barbershop on South Street
I looked [Em7]into their faces
They were all rank strangers to [G]me[D]
The veterans' [G]hall high up on the hill
Stood silent and alone
The [Em7]diner was shuttered and boarded
With a sign that just said "[G]gone"[D]
It's gonna be a [G]long walk home
Hey pretty Darling, don't wait up for me
Gonna be a [Em7]long walk home
Hey pretty Darling, don't wait up for me
Gonna be a [Csus9]long walk home
It's gonna be a [G]long walk home[D]
Instrumental: G Em7 G D 2x
Here every[D]body has a neighbor
Every[Am]body has a friend
Every[D]body has a reason to begin [Csus9]again[D]
My father said "[G]Son, we're lucky in this town
It's a beautiful place to be born
It just [Em7]wraps its arms around you
Nobody crowds you, nobody [G]goes it alone.[D]
That you know [G]flag flying over the courthouse
Means certain things are set in stone
Who we [Em7]are, what we'll do and what we [G]won't."[D]
It's gonna be a [G]long walk home
Hey pretty Darling, don't wait up for me
Gonna be a [Em7]long walk home
Hey pretty Darling, don't wait up for me
Gonna be a [Csus9]long walk home
It's gonna be a [G]long walk home[D]
Outro: G Em7 G D
