Intro:       G5   D5    4x


G5
I've got a job down at the brewery, so I don't mind taking my work home with me.
C5                                                            D5         
                      G5
You live, you love, you laugh, you cry,   life just slides on by
                 E5                        C5                           
            E5                           D5
But in my mind I'm playing football in the rain you're standing on the line, calling out 
my name
C5                      D5                                     G5
I close my eyes   nothing ever feels the same



Chorus:


  C5                    D5            E5                    C5
Sometimes I take the long way home I   walk down to the sea
       E5                        D5                      C5     
     G5
I look out across the water and remember how it used to be        oh



I've got a car but I walk most everywhere so I can feel the earth, feel the sun and 
breathe the air
I stop and say hello, no one answers back.
Well I'm doing o.k. I've got friends and family
People to love and people who love me
But I still wish I could see my old town once again



Chorus:
 C5                    D5              E5                   C5
Sometimes I take the long way home I    walk down to the sea
       E5                       D5                       C5     
   G5
I look out across the water and remember how it used to be      oh



Instrumental Break:           C5   D5  C5   D5  C5      (listen for changes during violin solo)
End with:    D5  D5   D5  D5



G5
We bar-b-que on Sundays watch the game on channel nine
G5
the it's down to the pub for a pint a glass of wine
        C5                               D5                C5    G5
sing karaoke to each other   "He ain't heavy... he's my brother"


Chorus: 2x
  C5                   D5             E5                   C5
Sometimes I take the long way home I  walk down to the sea
        E5                       D5                       C5    
  G5
I look out across the water and remember how it used to be     oh
