Long Walk Home

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

      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
