  G
I Let Out the Day for Better Parts

  C
I Left My Home State Where the Mississippi Starts
      D
I Was Looking for a Friend and a Change of Heart
                            G
Now I'm Taking the Long Way Home


    G    
I'd Never Seen Atlantic Waves
    C
The Road Ahead was Clear and Paved
      D    
I was Thinking "Hell, I've Got it Made"
                            G
Now I'm Taking the Long Way Home


Chorus:
    C                D
The Long Way Home is Some Kind of Lonesome
Em            C  
Misty Alabama Drive
    C                D                    C       G
The Long Way Home is How I Get to Feelin' Tonight

Verse II (same chords)

Manhattan's Sinking in the Hudson Bay
If It's a Wonderful Town I Aint Seen it Yet
And I'm Sick of All the Shit Head(?) Death Ray Looks
From People I Never Met

Well the Sun Went Out On My Career Path
Got a Gray Hound Ticket and I'm Showin' Ass
The Interstate Thru Way Just Went Passed
Now I'm Takin' the Long Way Home

Chorus II (same as the first)

I Forget Em' and I Don't Think Twice
        D
Cause I Know What Happened to Me...


Verse III

New Orlean's Won't Take Me, Memphis Can
I Walk Into Town Like Any Ordinary Man
And If I Can't Hold My Liquor on the Witness Stand
I'll Be Taking the Long Way Home

Chorus III (same accept you play the last lines twice and end on a G)

And that's the song.
