G Oh the last bus has gone or maybe I'm wrong D7 It just doesn't exist G And the words that flew between me and you D7 I must be crossed off your list
CDGCDG So I'm walking the long miles home, I don't mind losing you CDEm In fact I feel better each step of the way CDEm In the dark I rehearse all the right things to say CDEmA I'll be home, I'll be sober by break of day CDG Walking the long miles home
Not a soul is around as I put more ground Between me and you And the whole town's asleep or maybe they're deep In the old "voulez vous"
So I'm walking the long miles home and I don't mind losing you Got the moon there for company each step of the way And the rhythm in my shoes keep the blues all away When you ride Shanks's Pony you don't have to pay Walking the long miles home
Oh the party was grand but I hadn't quite planned On staying so long And while you accused me, the hours confused me And my friends had all gone
So I'm walking the long miles home and I don't mind losing you Ah there's nobody out but the cop on the beat He's snoring so loud I don't hear my feet I just laugh to myself and move off down the street Walking the long miles home I'm walking the long miles home Oh walking the long miles home
