Intro:
D Em D Em A

D Em
Sitting by the window of this broken-down hotel,
D Em A
Trying to write a letter just to show you that I'm well,
D Em
But I've been watching all the people as they cross the marketplace,
D Em A
And though there really is no reason, I've been looking for your face.

D Bm Em A
It's such a long way home,
D Bm Em A
It's such a long way home,
D Bm Em A
It's such a long way...

D Em
Standing by the aeroplane she held me in her arms,
D Em A
And then she whispered "oh dear lord don't let him come to any harm"
D Em
And as we turned to fly away I saw her standing on her own,
D Em A
It seemed her hand was waving not goodbye but "please come home".

D Bm Em A
It's such a long way home,
D Bm Em A
It's such a long way home,
D Bm Em A
It's such a long way...

G F#m
Oh so many people have to travel away,
Em D
From the ones that they love and they need,
G F#m
But I want to tell you that all your life,
Em A
You can depend on me.

D Em
Far away a saxophone lingers on a tune,
D Em A
And it's the kind of song that someone wrote for lovers and a moon,
D Em
And as the band begins to play it, with a shock I realize,
D Em A
That it's a song we sang together and it nearly makes me cry.

D Bm Em A
It's such a long way home,
D Bm Em A
It's such a long way home,
D Bm Em A
It's such a long way home,
D Bm Em A G D
It's such a long way, yes, such a long way home.
