Long Walk Home

Bruce Springsteen

Tom: G

G	D

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