Preface: In the intro and verse, Steven hammers on on the 1st D chord, high E string, from 0 to 2. Also on the Bm chord on the A string, from 0 to 2. In the first line of the verse, he plays a 3/4 measure of Bm, basically, he goes to the A slightly early Intro A Amaj7 F#m E D D/C# Bm Bm (A) 1st Verse A Amaj7 I set out on a great adventure, F#m E The day my Father started leading me home, D D/C# Said there?s gonna be mountains to climb, Bm A And valleys we?re gonna go through. A Amaj7 But I had no way of knowing, F#m E Just how hard this journey could be, D Cause the valleys are deeper D/C# Bm Bm slide to C#m momentarily And the mountains are steeper than I ever would have dreamed Chorus D F#m But I know we?re gonna make it, D F#m E And I know we?re gonna get there soon D F#m Esus2 Emaj9 And I know sometimes it seems like we?re going the wrong way D Dm (strum Dm once) But it?s just the long way home Turn around A Amaj7 F#m D 2nd Verse A Amaj7 F#m E D D/C# Bm Bm (A) Some rocks on my shoes, Fears I wish I could lose, That make the mountains so hard to climb, And my heart gets so heavy with the weight of the world sometimes. There?s a bag of regret, Should?ve beens and not yets, That keep on dragging around, And I can hardly wait till the day I get to lay them all down. Chorus D F#m D F#m E D F#m Esus2 Emaj9 D Dm Well I know that day is coming And I know it?s gonna be here soon And I know I won?t turn back even if the whole world Says I?m doing the wrong way Cause it?s just a long way home Bridge Bm C#m C#m When we can?t take another step, F#m E D The Father will pick us up and carry us in His arms, Bm C#m And even on the best days, He says to remember we?re not home yet, Esus2 Emaj9 So don?t get too comfortable, D Dm (strum once) Cause really all we?re is just pilgrims passing through. Interlude A Amaj7 F#m E D D/C# Bm Bm Alternative Chorus D F#m Well I know that day is coming, D F#m E And I know it?s gonna be here soon, D F#m Esus2 Emaj9 I?ll keep on singing and believing what all of my songs say, D F#m Cause our God has made a promise, D F#m E And I know that everything He says is true, D F#m Esus2 Emaj9 And he promised He would never ever leave us D Dm Esus2 Emaj9 He?s gonna lead us, He?ll lead us home, D Dm (Strum Dm once) A Amaj7 Every single step of the long way home, F#m E So keep on, we?re gonna make it, D Dm We?re just taking the long way home, A Amaj7 Keep on we?re gonna make it, F#m E I know we?re gonna make it, D Dm (strum Dm once) It?s just a long way home. A Amaj7=A (strum A once)
