INTRO: C  G  F   (4x)

           C            G     F
It was the summer of my discontent
           C         G        F
It was the ball of a lifetime
           C             G          F
It was the winter of my [penny ?] absence
C              G     F
Waiting on the springtime


                C        G         F      C
Well, there was dark sackcloth and ashes
      G        F
For a couple-a years
          C            G       F
I took my licks and my hundred lashes
     C           G        F
I cried a bundle of tears


CHORUS:
           G                  A
Well, that distant shore's forever out of reach
  Dm                       F
Before you know it, you're washed up on the beach
                C       G     F
And yet, you're welcome back
                     C   G  F
It was a pretty dark day
                            C       G     F
And now the sun is shining, welcome back
                     C   G  F
I'll just zoom on my way


            C           G       F
Well, I was bent, but I was not broken
      C              G         F
I was sinking, but I could not drown
      C              G         F
I was reeling, but I was still hoping
           C        G      F
I could be lost and found


            C           G     F
Well, I was temporarily disconnected
      C        G    F
In my state of disrepair
   C        G     F
Disoriented and dejected
         C            G     F
I had to climb out of there


CHORUS:
           G                  A
Well, that distant shore's forever out of reach
  Dm                       F
Before you know it, you're washed up on the beach
                 C       G     F
And then, you're welcome back
                     C   G  F
It was a pretty dark day
                            C       G     F
And now the sun is shining, welcome back
                     C   G  F
I'll just zoom on my way


BRIDGE:
Am      F          Am     F
Move on landward, [  ?  ] bound
 Am      F       Dm    F
'Til you land on solid ground

And now the sun is shining, welcome back
                     C   G  F
I'll just zoom on my way


                     C       G     F
Now everybody sing, 'Welcome back'
                     C   G   
It was a pretty dark day
F                      C       G     F
Hard times in Babylon, welcome back
                     C   G  F
I'll just zoom on my way
