Long Walk Home chords
Capo III *
G Em G  D
Last Gnight I stood at your Emdoorstep,
trying to Gfigure out what went Emwrong
You just Gslipped something into my Empalm;
then you were GgoneD  
I could Gsmell the same deep green of Emsummer,
aGbove me the same night sky was Emglowing
In the Gdistance I could see the Emtown where I was GbornD  
It's going to be a Glong walk home
Hey, pretty darling, don't wait up for me,
going to be a Emlong walk home;
a Glong walk homeD  
In Gtown I passed Sal's grocerEmy,
the Gbarbershop on South EmStreet
I Glooked into their Emfaces,
they were Gall rank Emstrangers to GmeD  
The Gveterans hall high up Emon the hill,
stood Gsilent and aEmlone
The Gdiner was shuttered and Emboarded,
with a Gsign that Emjust said "Dgone"
It's going to be a Glong walk home
Hey pretty darling, don't wait up for me,
going to be a Emlong walk home
Hey pretty Darling, don't wait up for me,
going to be a Clong walk home;
it's going to be a Glong walk homeD

My father said "GSon, we're lucky in Emthis town,
it's a Gbeautiful place to be Emborn
It just Gwraps its arms aEmround you,
nobody Gcrowds you, nobody Emgoes it aGloneD.
That you know Gflag flying over the Emcourthouse,
means Gcertain things are set in Emstone;
who we Gare, what Emwe'll Gdo and Emwhat we Gwon'tD."
It's going to be a Glong walk home
Hey, pretty darling, don't wait up for me,

G Em G D

G Em

Last night I stood at your doorstep,

G Em

trying to figure out what went wrong

G Em

You just slipped something into my palm;

then you were gone

G Em

I could smell the same deep green of summer,

G Em

above me the same night sky was glowing

G Em G D

In the distance I could see the town where I was born

It's going to be a long walk home

Hey, pretty darling, don't wait up for me,

going to be a long walk home;

G D

a long walk home

G Em

In town I passed Sal's grocery,

G Em

the barbershop on South Street

G Em

I looked into their faces,

G Em G D

they were all rank strangers to me

G Em

The veterans hall high up on the hill,

G Em

stood silent and alone

G Em

The diner was shuttered and boarded,

G Em D

with a sign that just said "gone"

It's going to be a long walk home

Hey pretty darling, don't wait up for me,

going to be a long walk home

Hey pretty Darling, don't wait up for me,

It just wraps its arms around you,

nobody crowds you, nobody goes it alone.

That you know flag flying over the courthouse,

means certain things are set in stone;

who we are, what we'll do and what we won't."
