Eb   Eb/D   Ab 
It's been a long time coming 
        Eb             Ab 
But I know you are the one 
Eb             Ab                    Bb            
Here at home at last the days have ceased 

             Eb   Eb/D   Ab 
It's been a long time coming 
       Eb             Ab 
And I know we've just begun 
Eb              Ab           Bb        Eb  Ab Eb 
All the pain has passed and there is peace 

          Db                Eb 
If the breath was warm and tender 
Db                         F7 
Now the breath becomes a yawn 
         Bb                 Ab 
And I've been returned to sender 
        Gb                 F7 
And I'm better since I'm gone... 

             Bb   Bb/A   Eb 
It's been a long time coming 
       Bb             Eb 
But I know you are the one 
Bb              Eb               F 
Here with time erased I'm at my best 


            Bb   Bb/A   Eb 
It's been a long time coming 
        Bb              Eb 
And I know we've just begun 
  Bb             Eb     F         Bb   Eb   Bb 
Without a pretty face I can just rest 


         Ab                 Bb 
But the march is still ongoing 
       Ab                  C7 
I can hear the drummers' roll 
          F                    Eb 
And it can't show signs of slowing 
       Db                  C7 
It is true, dear, it's my soul... 


             F     F/E      Bb 
It's been a long time coming 
       F                Bb 
But I know you are the one 
F                Bb                   C7 
Here at home at last the days have ceased 

  
            F     F/E   Bb 
It's been a long time coming 
       F                 Bb 
And I know we've just begun 
F                       Bb     C      F    Bb   F 
All the pain has passed and there is peace.
