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;
G D
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

G
it’s going to be a long walk home

hey , pretty darling , don’t wait up for me ,
Em
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”

G
it’s going to be a long walk home

hey pretty darling , don’t wait up for me ,
Em
going to be a long walk home

hey pretty darling , don’t wait up for me ,
C
going to be a long walk home;
G D
it’s going to be a long walk home

G Em G D 2

x D C
here everybody has a neighbor
Em C
everybody has a friend
D C Am D
everybody has a reason to begin again

G Em
my father said “son , we’re lucky in this town ,
G Em
it’s a beautiful place to be born
G Em
it just wraps its arms around you ,
G Em G D
nobody crowds you , nobody goes it alone .

G Em
that you know flag flying over the courthouse ,
G Em
means certain things are set in stone;
G Em G Em G D
who we are , what we’ll do and what we won’t . ”

G
it’s going to be a long walk home

hey , pretty darling , don’t wait up for me ,
Em
going to be a long walk home;

hey pretty darling , don’t wait up for me ,
C
going to be a long walk home;
G D
it’s going to be a long walk home

G
it’s going to be a long walk home

hey , pretty darling , don’t wait up for me ,
Em
going to be a long walk home;

hey pretty darling , don’t wait up for me ,
C
going to be a long walk home;
G D
it’s going to be a long walk home
G Em
it’s going to be a long walk home

G Em G D 2
