[Verse 1]
My [G]friends,
How do you do?
Want you listen here a minute
while I sing my blues,
Nineteen hundred, seventy four,
A river o' blood laid me out upon this shore
I don't know, why I'm here,
Born with a crack o' thunder
ringin' in my ears,
My heart started to jump
an' I began to shout,
Stuck here wonderin' what it [D]all [G]about.

[Verse 2]
How [G]long (how long)
Well, well,
How long (how long)
To that, home (how long)
[Em]Oooh,[G]
[Em]Tell[G] me how long that road[D]
[G][F#][G][C][G][C]
[G]

[Verse 3]
[D][G]
All thing unknown where I must tread,
All thing, but the certainty
that is my dread
Many say it ain' no
Heavenly home nowhere,
Up above our heads it just a hole in the air
I looked to the East,
looked to the West,
A heart beat sorrow[D]ful
through [G]my breast,
Child cryin' "Daddy,
what's wrong with you?"
Can't be satisfied matter what I do

[Verse 4]
How [G]long (how long)
Well, well,
How long (how long)
[D]To [G]that, home (how long)
Oooh,
Tell me how long [Em]that [G]road

[Interlude 1]
[G][F#][G][C#dim]
[C]
[G]Yeah!

[Verse 5]
Though [D]trouble have [G]dogged
an' driven me crawlin',
[Dm]I cl[G]eave, I cling, one old,
un- dyin' soul,
Lord know [D]I'm holdin'
[G]strong as I can hold,
I'm goin' right to that home,
How long my friend, I travail,
A lion's den, a belly of a whale
How long a pilgrim, in this land,
Death, sin, and [Am]the [G]politic' o' man

[Verse 6]
How [G]long (how long)
Well, well,
How long (how long)
[D]To [G]that, home (how long)
Oooh,
Tell me how long that [D]road[G]
