[Intro 1]
[D][G][D]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Josie works the counter at
the downtown five and dime
[G]Anything at all to help her
pass [D]the time
Her mama keeps the baby
and grandpa rambles on
About the good [G]times playing in [D]his mind

[Verse 2]
It's [G]a hard life living when you're [D]lonely
It's [G]a long night sleeping [D]alone
It's [G]a hard time waiting for to[D]morrow
It's [G]a long, long way home

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][D]

[Verse 3]
[D]Josie spends the evening with
the people in the pages
Of the pa[G]perback she picked
up in [D]the store
Or sometimes it's the TV or
she'll try to write a letter
But [G]they don't come too
often any[D]more

[Verse 4]
It's [G]a hard life living when [D]you're lonely
It's [G]a long night sleeping [D]alone
It's [G]a hard time waiting for to[D]morrow
It's [G]a long, long way [D]home

[Verse 5]
[D]And [G]I s[D]tar[G]e at [D]the gray
walls be[G]fore me
And [D]I see her face in t[G]he stone
And I [D]try to imagine our baby
[G]An d I [D]wish they would let me go home
[G]And I [D]wish they would let me go home
[G]And I [D]wish they would let me go home

[Verse 6]
It's [G]a hard life living when
you're [D]lonely
And I wish they would let me go home
It's [G]a long night sleeping alone
[D]And I wish they would let me go home
It's [G]a hard time waiting for tomorrow
And [D]I wish they would let me go home
It's [G]a long, [D]long way home
And I wish they would let me go home
It's [G]a long, long way home
And I wish they would let me go home
Bring me and [D]the other boys home
And I wish they would let me go home
Bring [G]me and the other boys home
And [D]I wish they would let me go home
Bring [G]me and the other boys [D]home
