G     D


[Verse 1]
     G
Last night I stood at your doorstep

Trying to figure out what went wrong
         Em7
You just slipped somethin' into my palm 
                   G   D
Then you were gone
                  G
I could smell the same deep green of summer

Above me the same night sky was glowin'
       Em7                                             G  D
In the distance I could see the town where I was born


[Chorus]
                G
It's gonna be a long walk home

Hey pretty Darling, don't wait up for me
           Em7
Gonna be a long walk home
  G               D
A long walk home


[Verse 2]
   G
In town I passed Sal's grocery

The barbershop on South Street
         Em7
I looked into their faces
                                G    D
They were all rank strangers to me
      G
The veterans' hall high up on the hill

Stood silent and alone
    Em7
The diner was shuttered and boarded
                          G       D
With a sign that just said "gone"


[Chorus]
                G
It's gonna be a long walk home

Hey pretty Darling, don't wait up for me
           Em7
Gonna be a long walk home

Hey pretty Darling, don't wait up for me
           Cadd9
Gonna be a long walk home
                G                D
It's gonna be a long walk home

G     Em7     G     D


[Bridge]
          D
Here everybody has a neighbor
     Am
Everybody has a friend
     D                            Cadd9     D
Everybody has a reason to begin again


[Verse 3]
                G
My father said "Son, we're lucky in this town

It's a beautiful place to be born
        Em7
It just wraps its arms around you
                          G               D
Nobody crowds you, nobody goes it alone.
              G
That you know flag flying over the courthouse

Means certain things are set in stone
       Em7                                  G     D
Who we are, what we'll do and what we won't."


[Chorus]
                G
It's gonna be a long walk home

Hey pretty Darling, don't wait up for me
           Em7
Gonna be a long walk home

Hey pretty Darling, don't wait up for me
           Cadd9
Gonna be a long walk home
                G                D
It's gonna be a long walk home


[Chorus]
                G
It's gonna be a long walk home

Hey pretty Darling, don't wait up for me
           Em7
Gonna be a long walk home

Hey pretty Darling, don't wait up for me
           Cadd9
Gonna be a long walk home
                G                D
It's gonna be a long walk home


[Outro]
                 G
It's gonna be a long walk home

    Em7    G    D
