the long journey home Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]We ran off chasing rainbows
'Neath the [A]blue Montana sky
And we [Bm]self- proclaimed our
[A]freedom with [D]a roar

[Verse 2]
[D]
We crossed those raging rivers
And we [A]drank the taverns dry
And we [Bm]bowed our heads to
[A]legends gone be[D]fore

[Verse 3]
Are you [G]ready for the [A]long
journey [D]home?
[G]The flatlands, swamps,
and [A]bayous in your [D]bones
[G]The simple life tastes [A]sweeter now
You [D]have no need to [G]roam
Are you [D]ready for the long
[A]journey home?
[D]

[Verse 4]
The wind down off the Yellowstone
[A]Blows coal trains off their tracks
And [Bm]the water springs [A]eternal from the fire
[D]

[Verse 5]
An eagle flies at sunrise
'Cross an [A]aspen grove and back
And the [Bm]moonlight brings
a [A]blue coyote choir
[D]

[Verse 6]
Are you [G]ready for the [A]long
journey [D]home?
[G]The flatlands, swamps,
and [A]bayous in your [D]bones
The [G]simple life tastes [A]sweeter now
You [D]have no need [G]to roam
Are you [D]ready for the [A]long journey [D]home?
[G][A]

[Verse 7]
In [D]dreams of mile- high cotton fields
We [A]once ran barefoot through
My [Bm]dead drunk Un[D]cle [A]Fireball
growls [D]these [A]words
[D]"Blood don't make you [A]family, boy
And [G]I've got news for [A]you
[Bm]Rattlesnakes don't sing
[A]like speckled birds"[D]

[Verse 8]
Are you [G]ready for the [A]long journey [D]home?[A]
[D]The fla[G]tlands, swamps,
and [A]bayous in your [D]bones
[G]The simple life tastes [A]sweeter now
You [D]have no need to [G]roam
Are you [D]ready for the [A]long
journey [D]home?[G][D]
[G]Are you [Bm]ready for the [A]long journey
