CAPO: 4th Fret
[INTRO:] C
[VERSE 1:]
F
From the railhead to the boatyard, from the factory to the farm
G C
From the mine to the mill-yard, I've weathered the storm
F
From the bar room to the bedpost, I've wasted my days
C G
All I have is my drink and the time left to think
C
While the time slips away
[CHORUS:]
Dm G C
Just look at my face___ when you tell me goodbye
Em Dm Em
You'll see what I'm after, by the look in my eye
F G
Just walk away and leave me alone
C
It's a long way back home
[VERSE 2:]
F
Now in case you should ask me, what it is that I've done
G C
I say I'm a soldier who once had a son
F
But my son doesn't know me, that's his right to choose
C G
Oh, say can you see, my best friend is me
C
I'm a friend I could use
[CHORUS:]
Dm G C
Just look at my face___ when you tell me goodbye
Em Dm Em
You'll see what I'm after, by the look in my eye
F G
Just walk away and leave me alone
C
It's a long way back home
[VERSE 3:]
F
Now the pages have faded, the story grows cold
G C
And the plot falls to ashes like the ruins of old
F
Those rats in my rafters, they're after my shoes
C G
And anything else they can find on the shelf
C
I've said they could use
[CHORUS:]
Dm G C
Just look at my face___ when you tell me goodbye
Em Dm Em
You'll see what I'm after, by the look in my eye
F G
Just walk away and leave me alone
C
It's a long way back home
It's a long way back home
