[Intro 1]
[G][C][D][Em][D][Em]
[G]

[Verse 1]
It's [G]a long
way home
He couldn't [C]see too well
His left [D]eye was shot out in the [Em]war
And the [D]other one was getting so [Em]tired
of [Bm]watching all [C]of the time
It's hard [Bm]enough keep awake
[C]and alive on this cold [G]day

[Verse 2]
[G]As far as he knows
It's gonna [C]take 4 days
[D]For the man to catch up
[Em]with the mile
And there's [D]nothing that could
ever [Em]be smiling quite like
[Bm]Death at t[C]he door
He [Bm]never thought that he would
[C]be poor like that again
[G][Am]

[Verse 3]
[D]
He had [Em]a day dream
And a real need for [Am]a cigarette
[D]The birds are [G]falling
And it will [B]dark soon
So he [C]told his [D]boots to carry

[Interlude 1]
on
[Em][G][C][D][Em]
[G]

[Verse 4]
[G]On a granite stone
He didn't [C]sleep too well
He had her [D]name at the end
[Em]of his tongue
He made [D]love to his memory
It [Em]stung him in [G]the dark

[Verse 5]
[G]Morning came and it [C]ate his [D]heart[Em]
Oh but the thun[D]der of the
river be[Em]hind him
Brought [Bm]him up to [C]his knees
[Bm]And he prayed hard
enough to [C]say please
Against his [G]odds
[Am]

[Verse 6]
[D]
He had [Em]a day dream
And a real need for a [Am]cigarette
[D]The moon is [G]calling
And it will [B]be dark
So [C]he told [D]his boots to carry on
[Em]
