Gordon Lightfoot - Long way back home

From the railhead to the boatyard, from the factory to the ^Ffarm From the mine to the ^Gmill-yard, I've weathered the ^Cstorm From the bar room to the bedpost, I've wasted my ^Fdays All I have is my ^Cdrink and the time left to ^Gthink While the time slips a^Cway

Just look at my ^Dmface__^G_ when you tell me good^Cbye You'll see what I'm ^Emafter, by the look in my ^Dmeye ^Em Just walk a^Fway and leave me a^Glone It's a long way back ^Chome

Now in case you should ask me, what it is that I've ^Fdone I say I'm a ^Gsoldier who once had a ^Cson But my son doesn't know me, that's his right to ^Fchoose Oh, say can you ^Csee, my best friend is ^Gme I'm a friend I could ^Cuse

Just look at my ^Dmface__^G_ when you tell me good^Cbye You'll see what I'm ^Emafter, by the look in my ^Dmeye ^Em Just walk a^Fway and leave me a^Glone It's a long way back ^Chome

Now the pages have faded, the story grows ^Fcold And the plot falls to ^Gashes like the ruins of ^Cold Those rats in my rafters, they're after my ^Fshoes And anything ^Celse they can find on the ^Gshelf I've said they could ^Cuse

Just look at my ^Dmface__^G_ when you tell me good^Cbye You'll see what I'm ^Emafter, by the look in my ^Dmeye ^Em Just walk a^Fway and leave me a^Glone It's a long way back ^Chome
