     G 
Last night I stood at your doorstep 
Trying to figure out what went wrong 
         Em7 
You just slipped somethin' into my palm  
                    G   D 
Then you were gone 
                  G 
I could smell the same deep green of summer 
Above me the same night sky was glowin' 
       Em7                                             G  D 
In the distance I could see the town where I was born 
                G   
It's gonna be a long walk home 
Hey pretty Darling, don't wait up for me 
           Em7 
Gonna be a long walk home 
  G               D 
A long walk home 
   G 
In town I passed Sal's grocery 
The barbershop on South Street 
         Em7 
I looked into their faces  
                                G    D 
They were all rank strangers to me 
              G 
The veterans' hall high up on the hill 
Stood silent and alone 
    Em7 
The diner was shuttered and boarded 
                            G       D 
With a sign that just said "gone" 
                G 
It's gonna be a long walk home 
Hey pretty Darling, don't wait up for me 
           Em7 
Gonna be a long walk home 
Hey pretty Darling, don't wait up for me 
           Csus9 
Gonna be a long walk home  
                G                D 
It's gonna be a long walk home

Here everybody has a neighbor 
     Am 
Everybody has a friend 
     D                          Csus9        D 
Everybody has a reason to begin again 
                G 
My father said "Son, we're lucky in this town 
It's a beautiful place to be born 
        Em7 
It just wraps its arms around you 
                          G               D 
Nobody crowds you, nobody goes it alone. 
              G 
That you know flag flying over the courthouse 
Means certain things are set in stone 
       Em7                            G         D 
Who we are, what we'll do and what we won't." 
                G 
It's gonna be a long walk home 
Hey pretty Darling, don't wait up for me 
           Em7 
Gonna be a long walk home 
Hey pretty Darling, don't wait up for me 
           Csus9 
Gonna be a long walk home  
                G                D 
It's gonna be a long walk home
