Intro: E all the way

E
Welcome home Macbeth
                       A
It's been a long long time
     G#m      C#m         G#m
And everyone knows you're here
     F#m     B         F#m
It's easy to see they care

Between verses: E (X4)

[E  between the verses]

E
Banquo's been and gone
                   A
He's seen it  all before
   G#m          C#m        G#m
He took it and then he did walk it
   F#m           B          F#m
He shook it and then he did rock it

[E  before pre-chorus & chorus]

        F#m        E
And you know it's true
     F#m                         E
You never saw things quite that way
    F#m      E
She knew it all
    F#m                 B
And made you see things all her way
E         Bm7        A
Somebody knows for sure
E                         Bm7      A
It's gotta be me or it's gotta be you
E                         Bm7     A
Come on along and tell me it's alright now
Am7
It's alright now, it's alright now
                E
It's alright by me

[Interlude: E all the way]

E
Alas for poor Macbeth
                    A
He found a shallow grave
    G#m            C#m      G#m
But better than a painful death
     F#m              B       F#m
And quicker than his dying breath 

[E  before pre-chorus & chorus]

        F#m        E
And you know it's true
     F#m                         E
You never saw things quite that way
    F#m      E
She knew it all
    F#m                 B
And made you see things all her way
E         Bm7        A
Somebody knows for sure
E                         Bm7      A
It's gotta be me or it's gotta be you
E                         Bm7     A
Come on along and tell me it's alright now
Am7
It's alright now, it's alright now
                E
It's alright by me

[Play E throughout the coda]
