Deep Purple - The Long Way Round

[Intro]
F5 G5

[Verse 1]
G5
You can’t get me down
G5
I got the ‘Things are looking up’ blues
G5
I know it happens
G5
ButŌĆģ it ŌĆģnever sticks to ŌĆģmy shoes
G5
It’s been a long timeŌĆģcoming
G5
I never thought it would last
G5
I think about the future
G5
WhoŌü¤ knowsŌü¤ what Ōü¤might have happenedŌü¤ in the past
C5
NothingŌü¤is real
G5
But it feels pretty good all the same
G5
I know you from somewhere
G5
But I can’t remember your name
C5
I don’t need much space
G5
But you don’t have to step on my toes
C5
I was looking over there
G5
And all the time it was under my nose

[Chorus]
C5 F5 C5 G5
Yeah, I should have known
C5 F5 C5 G5
Which way the wind was blowin’
A5 E5
I was facing the wrong way
A#5 F5 D5 A5
Always taking the long way round

[Bridge]
E5 A5
Never looking the right way
G5 D5 G5
Always going the wrong way
C5 F5 N.C.
Always taking the long way round

[Bridge]
E5 A5
Never looking the right way
G5 D5
Always going the wrong way
C5 N.C. F5 N.C.
Always taking the long way round

[Verse 2]
G5
You can reel me in slowly and surely
G5
But there’s a catch to this deal
G5
It’s not over yet
G5
I get one more spin of the wheel
G5
I promised myself
G5
I would not get trashed again
G5
But the way I’m feeling right now
G5
That promise is going down the drain, yeah

[Chorus]
C5 F5 C5 G5
I, I should have known
C5 F5 C5 G5
You were coming and I was gone
A5 E5
I was facing the wrong way
A#5 F5 D5 N.C. F5 N.C.
Always taking the long way round

[Outro]
