Chris de Burgh - It's Such A Long Way Home From his album: Crusader (1979) and Home (2012) Comment for any corrections and please rate The chords I wrote here are for the acoustic version of It's Such A Long Way Home of the album Home, Though you can also play them along with the original. Intro: D Em D Em A Verse 1: D Em Sitting by the window of this broken-down hotel, D Em Trying to write a letter just to show you that I'm well, D Em But I've been watching all the people as they cross the marketplace, D Em And though there really is no reason, I've been looking for your face. Chorus: D Bm Em A It's such a long way home, D Bm Em A It's such a long way home, D Bm Em A It's such a long way... Verse 2: D Em Standing by the aeroplane she held me in her arms, D Em And then she whispered "oh dear lord don't let him come to any harm" D Em And as we turned to fly away I saw her standing on her own, D Em It seemed her hand was waving not goodbye but "please come home". Chorus: D Bm Em A It's such a long way home, D Bm Em A It's such a long way home, D Bm Em A It's such a long way... Bridge: G F#m Oh so many people have to travel away, Em D From the ones that they love and they need, G F#m But I want to tell you that all your life, Em A You can depend on me. Verse 3: D Em Far away a saxophone lingers on a tune, D Em And it's the kind of song that someone wrote for lovers and a moon, D Em And as the band begins to play it, with a shock I realize, D Em That it's a song we sang together and it nearly makes me cry. Chorus: D Bm Em A It's such a long way home, D Bm Em A It's such a long way home, D Bm Em A G D It's such a long way such a long way home.
