AYou know it's been a lBmong time sEince we were shaken dAown
AWe worked out of a slBmaughterhouse oEn the outskirts of Atown
AYou caught it and it Bmwas poison to you wEhile it was meat tAo me
AWe rested on the doubBmtful side they Edon't know what iAt means to see
AAnd now it's time to Bmmove on, Eonto solid grAound
AI'd like you to come and Bmwalk with me wEhere we can lay us Adown
You know I've Ama7waited so loBmng
EHoney where do we go noAw?
You know I've waAmaj7ited so lBmong
EAh honey where do we go noAw?
AYou know it's been a Bmlong time we'Eve been waiting to Ago
ASitting patiently expBmloding the torEture as the slow fuse bAlows
AThe mystery of your fBmading smile haEs helped me through the Ayears
ANow and then I only sBmee your eyes aEs the station nearAs
You know I've Ama7waited so loBmng
EHoney where do we go noAw?
You know I've waAmaj7ited so lBmong
EAh honey where do we go noAw?
AWe caught us a blue tBmrain what otheEr way is there to ride?A  
AI’ve never found anotBmher jEust too torn away insideA  
AThere shines the moon wiBmth a message bEidding all hands to heed Athe call
ANow I know I'm no proBmspector 'cos IE've got no prospects at Aall
AStolen hearts beneath Bmthe floorboards the tEhunder of the condemnedA  
AI see your address has been Bmtaken Eoff at the very eAnd
AThe weird things is I've been Bmrunning on an Eempty tankard of teAars
AWith only the memory of your Bmsweet mist to Eblow away all my feaArs
You know I've Ama7waited so loBmng
EHoney where do we go noAw?
You know I've waAmaj7ited so lBmong
EAh honey where do we go noAw?
AIt's been a long time Bmcoming, Ea long time doAwn
AIt's been a long time Bmcoming, tEhe snow is on the gAround.

Ama7

Amaj7

A Bm E A

You know it's been a long time since we were shaken down

A Bm E A

We worked out of a slaughterhouse on the outskirts of town

A Bm E A

You caught it and it was poison to you while it was meat to me

A Bm E A

We rested on the doubtful side they don't know what it means to see

A Bm E A

And now it's time to move on, onto solid ground

A Bm E A

I'd like you to come and walk with me where we can lay us down

Ama7 Bm

You know I've waited so long

E A

Honey where do we go now?

Amaj7 Bm

You know I've waited so long

E A

Ah honey where do we go now?

A Bm E A

You know it's been a long time we've been waiting to go

A Bm E A

Sitting patiently exploding the torture as the slow fuse blows

A Bm E A

The mystery of your fading smile has helped me through the years

A Bm E A

Now and then I only see your eyes as the station nears

Ama7 Bm

You know I've waited so long

E A

Honey where do we go now?

Amaj7 Bm

You know I've waited so long

E A

Ah honey where do we go now?

A Bm E A

We caught us a blue train what other way is there to ride?

A Bm E A

I’ve never found another just too torn away inside

A Bm E A

There shines the moon with a message bidding all hands to heed the call

A Bm E A

Now I know I'm no prospector 'cos I've got no prospects at all

A Bm E A

Stolen hearts beneath the floorboards the thunder of the condemned

A Bm E A

I see your address has been taken off at the very end

A Bm E A

The weird things is I've been running on an empty tankard of tears

A Bm E A

With only the memory of your sweet mist to blow away all my fears

Ama7 Bm

You know I've waited so long

E A

Honey where do we go now?

Amaj7 Bm

You know I've waited so long

E A

Ah honey where do we go now?

A Bm E A

It's been a long time coming, a long time down

A Bm E A

It's been a long time coming, the snow is on the ground.
