E A E
Well, I’m one day, one day closer, than I’ve ever been before
E B7
One mile, one mile further down this tired and weary road
E A E
This old world is full of some trouble, so many heartaches I have known
E B7 A E B7
Like a pilgrim, keep on moving, cause this world is not my home
[Chorus]
E A
It’s a long walk, it’s a long walk
E A E F#7
It’s a long walk to heaven
A B7 E A E B7
But I’m too close to turn around
[Verse 2]
E A E
Sometimes every, mile of mountain, at each step, Lord I’m countin’
E B7
Until I see, the lights beyond, that crystal sea
E A E
Oh, lead me on, lest I falter, until I kneel down, at your alter
E F#7 B7 E
Then Father please, oh please, oh please, have mercy on me.
A E B7
Well, well, well, well
[Chorus]
E
It’s a long walk, it’s a long walk
E A E F#
It’s a long walk to heaven
A B7 E
But I’m too close, to turn around
E
To turn around
E A
To turn around
